GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
A person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient 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 person attempting recovery needs this level of care, it is helpful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to several weeks. Once the hospital inpatient part of their recovery is finished they may choose to participate at a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
