Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Oakdale, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you may make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Oakdale provides medical detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person 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 detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to treat their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
