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

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs and alcohol, and you may make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Dodge provides medically supervised detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, using medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox 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 decide to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For an individual 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 and/or alcohol rehab facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
