Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Wahpeton, ND.

Detoxification is the first step 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 Wahpeton offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, using prescription medications to alleviate symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely choose to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are utilized to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This may be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental 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 detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab facility to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
