Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Huntley, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Huntley provides medical detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
