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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hamilton provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
