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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Prosperity offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription 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 stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
