Hospital Inpatient - CareyAn individual who is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are focused towards making the individual�''s withdrawal and detox as smooth as possible. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every person attempting recovery requires this level of care, it is useful to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to even up to a month. Once the hospital inpatient part of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to enter a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
