Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lakewood, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lakewood offers medically managed detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
