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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pocahontas provides medically supervised detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
