Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Carrier Mills, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Carrier Mills offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
