Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Hope, ND.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hope offers medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
