Hospital Inpatient - Index, WashingtonAn individual who is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient 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 needs this level of care, it is helpful to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to several weeks. Once the hospital inpatient portion of their recovery is finished they may choose to enter a sober living setting or transfer into an outpatient program.
