Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Cross, SC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cross provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
