Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ashley, ND.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ashley provides medically managed detox services, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery facility to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
