Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Charleston, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Charleston provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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