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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mendon offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
