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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs, and you can choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Kintyre offers medically managed detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment facility to treat their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
