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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Crystal Lake provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay 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 detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
