Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Elgin, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Elgin provides medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
