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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tamassee offers medical detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
