Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Frederick, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Frederick offers medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
