Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Forest City, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Forest City provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing 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 easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
