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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mc Lean provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 detox facility to a drug treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
