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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wataga provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
