GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
A person who is heavily 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 beneficial to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to even up to a month. Once the inpatient part of their recovery is complete they may choose to participate at a sober living setting or transfer into an outpatient program.
