Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Darien, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Darien offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually 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 may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
