Inpatient hospitalization programs in Mexico are a form of drug rehabilitation program which provides treatment in a hospital environment where the rehabilitation process can be supervised by medical staff as well as treatment professionals. As is typically the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, it is often vital for the person 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 Mexico who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is typically used in the case of illicit opiate or prescription pain reliever addiction. Most people in Mexico who undergo this treatment route however and don't continue on with additional intensive treatment 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 rehabilitation center.
