Detox Services
Johnstown Heights Behavioral Health offers inpatient detox care at our center in Johnstown, Colorado.
Our caring team is here for those struggling with addiction, substance use disorder or chemical dependence. Although detox is normally the first step in addressing an addiction, an assessment will help each individual determine the best course of treatment. So the best thing to do is to make the call and seek help.
What is Detox?
Inpatient detox involves checking in to our hospital. Here we can monitor and manage the care of individuals who are experiencing withdrawal symptoms from drug or alcohol addiction in a controlled, 24-hour inpatient setting.
What Does Inpatient Treatment Involve?
The treatment typically involves medication-assisted therapy, counseling, and support from a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals to ensure the safety and comfort of the individual during the detoxification process.
