Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Due West, SC.

Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because withdrawal can be dangerous. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Due West patients are closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may bring about health risks or even death in more severe cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for example may need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription medications that will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detox facility would ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may require intensive treatment and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the highest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse treatment program once detoxification is finished. Many detoxification facilities collaborate with drug rehab facilities to make this transition possible, due to the fact that detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive treatment plan for people in recovery.
