Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hilton Head Island, SC.

Inpatient detoxification is vital when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Hilton Head Island patients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which may bring about health complications or even death in more severe instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example would need to be closely monitored and possibly administered certain prescription medications which works to prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in an inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each person in detox, because of the unique health differences that each person presents when entering detox. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another person may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to treatment for individuals who need to attend an actual drug and alcohol treatment program once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive recovery plan for people in recovery.
