Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Scott Air Force Base, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Scott Air Force Base provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
