Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Abingdon, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Abingdon offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could 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, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
