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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Christopher offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
