Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Union, SC.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Union provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
