Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Auburn, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Auburn provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
