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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Media offers medical detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
