Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Glenview, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Glenview offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe 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 prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
