Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Palmer, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Palmer offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
