Hospital inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is a form of treatment which is carried out in a medical setting and is delivered by medical practitioners and other healthcare professionals. Hospital inpatient treatment is often needed in the case of life threatening symptoms of withdrawal, which is sometimes true with alcohol as well as a category of medical drug known as benzodiazepines which must be monitored extremely carefully by medical professionals in case of any complications. Hospital inpatient rehab may be delivered to treatment clients in Mercer who choose to go through medication assisted withdrawal, which is sometimes the case with individuals in Mercer who are addicted to opiates and want to utilize this type of detoxification approach to avoid the harsh symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This form of opiate detoxification is not considered treatment by itself however, and treatment clients will require further counseling and therapy to fully be free of opiate addiction.
