Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Sheffield, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sheffield offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
