Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Woodland Park, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Woodland Park individuals can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could bring about health risks or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and probably given specific prescription medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility will keep them safe.

There isn't an exact process for each person in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is basically in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is complete. Most detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
