Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - West Columbia, SC.

Inpatient detoxification is recommended when a person is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in West Columbia clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health risks or even death in more severe cases. a person with alcoholism for example will need to be watched closely and possibly administered certain prescription medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that could cause very similar symptoms, and doctors and medical staff in the inpatient detox facility will ensure their safety.

There is not an exact process for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person exhibits when entering detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another person may need comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse rehab facility once detoxification is complete. Most detox facilities collaborate with drug rehab programs to make this transition possible, since detox is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for people in recovery.
