Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Minonk, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Minonk offers medically managed detox, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment facility to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
