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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Westfield offers medically supervised detox, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab facility to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
