Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Hillsboro, ND.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hillsboro offers medically supervised detox services, which is carried out with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehab program to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
