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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in St. Peter provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals 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 health.

For a person who has a history 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 rehab center to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
