Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ashley, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashley provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
