Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Irmo, SC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Irmo offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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