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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sidney provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to treat their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
