Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Washburn, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Washburn offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
