Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Tappen, ND.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can make the decision to undergo detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Tappen provides medically managed detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could 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 a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery center to handle their addiction given that detox is not actual treatment in itself.
