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

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use considering there may be risks involved. In an inpatient detoxification facility in Charleston patients can be closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that may bring about health complications or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be observed closely and likely administered specific medications which would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox center will minimize health risks.

There is not an exact process for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person exhibits when arriving to detox. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to treatment for individuals who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment center once detox is finished. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall recovery plan for recovering addicts.
