Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Andalusia, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Andalusia provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
