Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Larimore, ND.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Larimore provides medically supervised detox, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that commonly occur with severe alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to receive medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where 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 stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For an individual who has been struggling 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 rehab program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
