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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Evergreen Park offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
