Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Anderson, SC.

Inpatient detoxification is suggested when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol considering withdrawal can be dangerous. In an inpatient detoxification setting in Anderson clients can be closely checked for withdrawal symptoms which could cause health complications or even death in more severe cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be observed closely and probably administered specific prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center will ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each person in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive care and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehab program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
