Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hagarstown, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hagarstown provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious 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 prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
