Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wheatland, ND.

Detoxification is the first part of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wheatland provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease 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 symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

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