Frequently Asked Questions
About Hospital Inpatient
Hospital inpatient treatment provides the highest level of addiction care in licensed medical facilities with full hospital resources. This level serves individuals with complex medical conditions, severe psychiatric symptoms, or situations requiring intensive medical and psychiatric monitoring alongside addiction treatment. Hospital-based care ensures immediate access to emergency medical services, specialists, and advanced medical technologies.
When Hospital-Level Care Is Needed
Hospital inpatient treatment is indicated for:
- Severe Medical Complications: Liver disease, cardiac issues, infections, diabetes complications, or other serious medical conditions requiring physician oversight
- Psychiatric Crisis: Active suicidal ideation, psychosis, severe depression, mania, or other psychiatric emergencies
- Dangerous Withdrawal: Severe alcohol or benzodiazepine dependence with high seizure risk
- Pregnancy: Addiction treatment during pregnancy requiring obstetric oversight
- Polysubstance Dependence: Multiple substances creating complex medical management needs
Hospital Services and Resources
Hospital inpatient units provide comprehensive services including 24/7 physician availability, registered nursing staff, psychiatric consultation and medication management, medical testing and imaging, emergency medical intervention capacity, pharmacy services, and consultation with medical specialists as needed. These resources address complex cases requiring medical acuity beyond what residential treatment can safely manage.
Difference from Residential Treatment
While both provide 24/7 care, hospital treatment operates in licensed medical facilities with hospital-level medical and psychiatric capabilities. Residential treatment occurs in therapeutic environments focusing on rehabilitation rather than acute medical care. Most people requiring 24/7 structure without complex medical/psychiatric needs appropriately receive residential treatment. Hospital inpatient serves the smaller subset with medical complexity requiring hospital resources.
Typical Hospital Stay and Transition
Hospital stays focus on medical and psychiatric stabilization, typically lasting 3-14 days. Once medically and psychiatrically stable, patients step down to residential treatment, partial hospitalization, or intensive outpatient care for continued addiction treatment while no longer requiring hospital-level medical services. The goal is stabilization enabling safe transition to less restrictive, more rehabilitation-focused settings.
