Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Converse, 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 Converse individuals are closely watched for withdrawal symptoms which may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly given specific prescription drugs that works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that may cause very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox center can keep them safe.

There is not an exact practice for each patient in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. A person who is basically in good health may undergo detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is only the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
