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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Victoria provides medically managed detox services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug treatment center to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
