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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lafox offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

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