Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Utica, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Utica provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain 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 smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
