Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Clarendon Hills, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clarendon Hills offers medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
