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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mc Connell offers medical detoxification services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
