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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you might choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wood Dale offers medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
