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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Russell offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
