Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Braidwood, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Braidwood provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 treatment facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
