Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Shumway, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Shumway offers medically managed detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not treatment in itself.
