Inpatient hospitalization programs in Berlin are a form of drug rehab facility which provides rehabilitation in a hospital setting where the rehabilitation process can be managed by medical staff as well as addiction professionals. As is usually the case with benzodiazepine and alcohol withdrawal, it is sometimes necessary for an individual 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 Berlin who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is primarily used in the case of prescription pain reliever and illicit opiate addiction. Most people in Berlin who choose this treatment route however and don't follow up with additional intensive treatment typically have extremely high rates of relapse. In either case, addicted individuals should follow up detox with an intensive recovery program either in inpatient hospitalization or in some other drug rehabilitation facility.
