Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Esmond, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Esmond offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
