Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bridgeport, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Bridgeport provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
