Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cottage Hills, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cottage Hills provides medically supervised detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
