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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Harvard provides medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab center to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
