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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Villa Ridge provides medical detox services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
