Withdrawal Management - Vitals Guidelines

Guidelines for vital sign monitoring:

• For clients detoxing at Spera, vitals are taken as part of the intake process, and monitored every two hours for the first 24 hours at Spera.
  • Vitals are taken every two hours on the odd hours - 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, etc.
• If BP is high or unregulated, the above schedule will continue until vitals are normal/regulated.
• After 24 hours of detox, if BP is normal/regulated, vitals will be checked 1x/day for the remainder of detox.
