Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Geneva, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Geneva provides medical detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
