Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Dieterich, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dieterich offers medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
