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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in River Grove provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. 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 substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
