Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Pleasant Hill, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pleasant Hill provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days 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, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
