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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Millington provides medical detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance 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, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
