Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Richview, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Richview offers medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
