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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bethalto provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
