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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Donnellson offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
