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

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you may choose to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Ludden offers medical detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that commonly occur during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very discomforting (but typically not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, the recommendation would be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
