Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Marietta, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marietta offers medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
