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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Edgewood offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
