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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mount Prospect offers medical detox services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
