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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in LaSalle offers medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. 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 a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
