Hospital inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is a type of rehab which is done in a hospital facility and is delivered by medical practitioners and other medical staff. Hospital inpatient rehabilitation is often necessary if there is any chance of life threatening symptoms of withdrawal, which is sometimes the case with alcohol as well as a class of prescription drug called benzodiazepines which must be overseen very carefully by medical experts in case of any problems. Hospital inpatient rehabilitation may be an option for people in Monitor who want to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is often the case with people in Monitor who are dependent to opiates and want to use this type of withdrawal technique to prevent the harsh symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This form of opiate detoxification is not treatment by itself however, and treatment clients will require further counseling and therapy to completely overcome opiate addiction.
