Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bement, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bement offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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