Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Carlisle, SC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carlisle offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
