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

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs, and you might make the decision to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilmette offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
