Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Denmark, SC.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Denmark provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
