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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Clayton offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
