Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Port Royal, SC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Port Royal offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
