Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Dunfermline, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dunfermline provides medical detoxification services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
