Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Metcalf, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Metcalf provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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