Deland - Hospital InpatientAn individual who is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are geared 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 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 even up to a month. Once the inpatient part of their recovery is finished they may choose to participate at a sober living facility or transfer into an outpatient program.
