GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
A person who is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are focused towards physical health, mental health and medical stabilization. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every drug addict requires this level of care, it is useful 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 part of their treatment plan is finished they may choose to enter a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
