Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - St. Anne, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Anne provides medical detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
