Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Willow Springs, IL.

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Willow Springs offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person detoxing from alcohol for example may benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients 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 health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
