Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Unity, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Unity offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
