Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Shawnee, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from substance use due to the fact that there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Shawnee individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be observed closely and probably administered specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive care and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
