Hospital Inpatient - VidalAn individual who is heavily addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by attending a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are geared 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 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 often last several days to several weeks. Once the hospital inpatient part of their treatment plan is finished they may choose to participate at a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
