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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chicago provides medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
