Quinque, VA. - Hospital InpatientA person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by attending 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 needs this level of care, it is helpful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol.
