Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Sullivans Island, SC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sullivans Island offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing 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 an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
