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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashton provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
