Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Riverdale, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Riverdale provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
