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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chester offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox 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 physical and mental health.

For an individual 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 recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
