Hospital Inpatient - Mora, New MexicoAny person who is heavily addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are focused 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 requires this level of care, it is helpful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to even up to a month. Once the hospital inpatient part of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to enter a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
