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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Fulton provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
