Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bridgeview, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage 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 Bridgeview offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing 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 an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
