Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Yampa, CO.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol due to the fact that there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Yampa patients are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription medications that would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may need to have intensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual substance abuse treatment facility once detox is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
