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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Lowpoint provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
