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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Herrin provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (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 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 a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
