Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Decatur, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Decatur provides medical detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
