Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Aiken, SC.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Aiken patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for example will need to be closely monitored and probably administered specific prescription medications that works to prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that can cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in an inpatient detox center can minimize health risks.

There isn't an exact process for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who need to take part in an actual substance abuse rehabilitation center once detox is complete. Most detox facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
