Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Leaf River, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leaf River provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification 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 withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling 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 and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
