These types of programs are geared towards making the individual�''s withdrawal and detox as smooth as possible. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every drug addict requires this level of care, it is helpful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to several weeks. Once the inpatient part of their recovery is complete they may choose to participate at a sober living setting or transfer into an outpatient program.
