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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Seneca offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
