Inpatient hospitalization programs in Hamburg are a form of drug rehabilitation facility which delivers treatment in a hospital environment where the rehabilitation process can be managed by medical staff as well as addiction professionals. As is generally the case with benzodiazepine and alcohol withdrawal, it is sometimes necessary for the person to be in an inpatient hospitalization program while detoxing because the withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening. Inpatient hospitalization programs are also an option for those in Hamburg who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is mainly used in the case of prescription pain reliever and illicit opiate addiction. Most people in Hamburg who undergo this treatment route however and don't follow up with further intensive treatment typically have extremely high rates of relapse. In either case, individuals should follow up the detox process with an extensive recovery program either in inpatient hospitalization or in some other drug treatment facility.
