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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Champaign provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
