Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Wheeler, IL.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wheeler offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
