Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Norwich, ND.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Norwich provides medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. Someone detoxing from alcohol for example may need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For a person who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug treatment center to handle their addiction because detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
