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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Assumption provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
