Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ellery, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ellery provides medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone 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 rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
