Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Pleasant, SC.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Pleasant provides medically managed detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
