Hospital inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is a form of treatment which is carried out in a medical facility and is overseen by health professionals and other medical staff. Hospital inpatient treatment is often needed in the case of life threatening symptoms of withdrawal, which is often the case with alcohol as well as a class of prescription drug known as benzodiazepines which in any case should be overseen extremely carefully by medical experts in case of any problems. Hospital inpatient rehab may be an option for treatment clients in Switchback who choose to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, as is the case with people in Switchback that are dependent to opiates and wish to utilize this form of detoxification approach to prevent the serious symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This type of opiate detox is not treatment all alone however, and treatment clients will require further time spent in rehab to fully recover from opiate addiction.
