Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - West Union, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in West Union offers medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to work on their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
