Inpatient hospitalization programs in Damascus are a form of drug treatment facility which provides rehabilitation in a hospital environment where the rehab process can be overseen by medical staff and addiction professionals. As is often the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, it is often necessary for an individual to be in an inpatient hospitalization program during the withdrawal process because some withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening. Inpatient hospitalization programs are also an option for those in Damascus who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is often used in the case of prescription pain reliever and illicit opiate addiction. Most individuals in Damascus who choose this treatment method however and don't continue on with additional rehabilitation have very high rates of relapse. In either case, individuals should follow up the detox process with an extensive rehabilitation program either in inpatient hospitalization or in some other drug treatment center.
