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

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in White Heath provides medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms 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 physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
