Ouzinkie, Alaska - Hospital InpatientAny person who is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient 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 person attempting recovery requires this level of care, it is useful to those who have severe 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 complete they may choose to participate at a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
