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

Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of drugs and alcohol, and you might decide to go through detox in a hospital inpatient detox center for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Pembina offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. Someone withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to undergo medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are used to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery program to treat their addiction because detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
