Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Gaston, SC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gaston provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
