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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lugoff provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could 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, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
