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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kankakee provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history 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 and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
