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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Iroquois offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone 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 and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
