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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mundelein provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction 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 work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
