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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Huntsville offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
