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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Gridley provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history 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 rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
