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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Northlake provides medically managed detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling 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 recovery center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
