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