Inpatient hospitalization programs in Wales are a form of drug rehabilitation program which provides treatment in a hospital setting where the rehabilitation process can be administered by medical staff as well as treatment professionals. As is often the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, it is sometimes vital for the person to be in an inpatient hospitalization program during detoxification because the withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening. Inpatient hospitalization programs are also an option for those in Wales who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is primarily used in the case of illicit opiate or prescription pain reliever addiction. Most individuals in Wales who choose this treatment method however and don't follow up with additional intensive treatment typically have very high rates of relapse. In either case, addicted individuals should follow up the detox process with an in depth rehabilitation program either in inpatient hospitalization or in some other drug treatment program.
