South Shore Hospital – Medical Detox

South Shore Hospital – Medical Detox is located in Chicago, Illinois 60617. It provides inpatient care and medically assisted detox, two levels of care that support people who are beginning recovery from substance use. Inpatient care generally means a person stays at the facility around the clock while receiving structured treatment and monitoring. Medically assisted detox typically involves clinical oversight and medication to help manage withdrawal symptoms as safely and comfortably as possible.

The facility treats alcoholism, drug addiction, opioid addiction, and substance abuse. Its clinical services include individual therapy and nicotine replacement therapy. Individual therapy usually offers a private setting to explore the thoughts, behaviors, and circumstances connected to substance use, while nicotine replacement therapy is commonly used to ease nicotine withdrawal for people who are also addressing tobacco use. South Shore Hospital – Medical Detox offers an adult program and a young adult program, so care can be matched to different stages of life and recovery needs.

Because detox is often an early step rather than a complete treatment plan, it can be helpful to ask what follow-up care and continuing support are available after discharge.
