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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Sullivan provides medical detox, which is performed with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days 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 a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery program to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
