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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marengo offers medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
