Why Choose South Carolina Detox Centers?

Going through detox in South Carolina can be difficult, but choosing a professional detox center to help you with the process makes everything much easier. Though many people try to go it alone, this has a tendency to lead to relapse among other dangerous outcomes.

  • Those who are going through or have just gone through opioid detox are at the highest risk of deadly overdose (National Library of Medicine).
  • Certain withdrawal symptoms (especially those associated with benzodiazepines and alcohol) can be life-threatening.

How Long is South Carolina Alcohol Detox?

Alcohol detox is not easy, and in some cases, can even be dangerous. Those who do not stay in treatment long enough could relapse, especially if they begin to experience symptoms of delirium tremens, which can cause

  • Hallucinations
  • Confusion
  • Seizures
  • Anxiety
  • Delirium
  • Vomiting

South Carolina alcohol detox, as a result, can sometimes take up to several weeks or longer to ensure the patient has properly recovered from all symptoms. Detox should be followed by addiction treatment, but if you are looking to begin your recovery from alcohol abuse, call 803-918-5844(Who Answers?) now to learn more about your options.

How Long is South Carolina Drug Detox?

South Carolina drug detox can take time as well. In fact, different drugs require different lengths of detox, including

  • Opioids/heroin: at least a week or two
  • Benzodiazepines: two weeks
  • Stimulants: a month or longer
  • Club drugs: two weeks to a month

These numbers are based on specific drugs of abuse, but your treatment length could vary greatly. If you were using more than one drug, if you are suffering from dual-diagnosis, or if you are severely dependent on any drug, this could make the process take longer. As such, make sure you understand all the variables that may affect your treatment length.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Detox Centers in SC

Inpatient care is often necessary for many individuals during detox, especially those who have abused substances like alcohol and benzodiazepines that can cause intense withdrawal symptoms. Anyone suffering from dual-diagnosis may also want to consider choosing inpatient care during detox. Some people are also very dependent on their substance of abuse, so much so that they are nervous they will relapse if left without supervision. This could make inpatient care necessary as well.

Still, outpatient detox can be effective, especially for those who do not want to leave work or school during withdrawal. Those who have small children can also benefit from the option of outpatient treatment.
