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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Chillicothe offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
