Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Western Springs, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you could make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Western Springs provides medical detox services, which is administered with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are utilized to ease them through a very miserable (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 subsided. 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 a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
