Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Millbrook, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millbrook offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
