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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winnsboro provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
