Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Laura, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Laura offers medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
