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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hecker provides medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
