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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ophiem provides medical detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
