Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ivesdale, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ivesdale provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
