Hospital Inpatient - FerndaleA person who is heavily addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient rehab 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 helpful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to several weeks. Once the inpatient portion of their recovery is finished they may choose to participate at a sober living facility or transfer into an outpatient program.
