Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Forest Park, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Forest Park provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
