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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Baldwin provides medically managed detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
