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

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Winnetka provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment program to treat their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
