Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Cutler, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Cutler offers medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
