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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Apple River offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
