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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kenney offers medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
