Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thornton, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Thornton provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

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