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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Armington provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
