Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Griggsville, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Griggsville offers medical detox, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form 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 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
