Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Lee Center, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lee Center provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
