Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Genoa, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Genoa offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type 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 type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
