Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Chesterfield, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chesterfield provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
