Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Driscoll, ND.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Driscoll provides medical detoxification services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal 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 an individual who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
