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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Drayton provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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