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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you may decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Briarwood offers medical detoxification services, which is carried out with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from certain medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug recovery center to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
