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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ottawa offers medical detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
