Focused Recovery For Holistic Healing
Inpatient Drug Rehab
Inpatient drug rehab is a residential program where people can receive structured, supervised care for drug or alcohol addiction. With round-the-clock care and individualized attention, you can gain distance from stress and triggers to reflect and break the cycle of addiction.
What Is Inpatient Drug Rehab?
Inpatient drug rehab is a type of addiction treatment that involves staying in a hospital or rehabilitation facility 24/7. With constant supervision and structured care, inpatient drug rehab is ideal for people who need intensive care and support.
Types of Inpatient Rehab
For people struggling with addiction or mental health issues, receiving continuous support, care, and individualized attention is necessary to break the cycle of addiction with some distance from family and friends.
Here are the types of inpatient drug rehab:
Inpatient Addiction Treatment
Inpatient addiction treatment provides an immersive experience that gives you the support necessary to overcome the challenges of drug or alcohol addiction.
Along with round-the-clock care from a full staff, inpatient addiction treatment includes individual therapy with psychotherapy, counseling, and other behavioral therapies according to your individual care plan. These therapies are designed to identify unhealthy behavior patterns, substance use triggers, and past trauma that can contribute to addiction.
Group therapy and peer support groups are also involved in inpatient addiction treatment. By engaging with other members of the community who are experiencing similar struggles, you can build a supportive environment, structure, and routine that will not only help with overcoming addiction now but sustaining abstinence when you transition to day-to-day life.
Inpatient Mental Health Treatment
Substance use disorders – the term for drug and alcohol addiction – often co-occur with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia. These two conditions impact and influence each other, creating unique challenges for recovery.
Inpatient mental health treatment for co-occurring disorders provides continuous observation by a full staff of medical and mental health professionals and a full range of treatment options. Both individual therapies and group counseling sessions may be included.
Inpatient Rehabilitation Process
Rehab centers use a continuum of care to ensure that people enter treatment at the level of care that aligns with their needs. Then, as treatment needs change, they can transition into different levels of care.
Based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) guidelines, inpatient care – or residential care – is a Level 3.[1] If inpatient includes medically managed detox, it’s Level 4.
Generally, inpatient care is indicated for clients who have completed medical detox and no longer require medical stabilization but still require intensive management with activities, therapies, and medical care.
Substance use disorder treatment begins with an assessment to determine your goals, medical and family history, specific challenges, past rehab experiences, and other details to determine the appropriate level of care.
If inpatient rehab is the recommendation, you can enter rehab with or without medical detox. Inpatient treatment typically lasts from 30 to 90 days, but it can be longer.
How (and Why) Inpatient Drug Rehab Works
As a full-time resident of an inpatient rehab facility, you will receive targeted care and support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Depending on the facility, it could include a private room or a shared room with another resident, meals, and scheduled individual or group therapy sessions throughout the day.
One of the goals of inpatient treatment is that it allows for distance from problematic home environments and triggers.[2] By removing distractions and sources of stress, you can focus on recovering with the support of a dedicated care team.
What’s the Best Way to Find Inpatient Addiction Treatment?
If inpatient addiction treatment is right for you, you can find an inpatient treatment center by speaking to your doctor or therapist. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) also offers resources to find an inpatient drug rehab near you.

What We Treat with Inpatient Treatment
Therapies Used During Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient addiction treatment can vary, but it may include:
- Individual therapy: One-on-one treatment with a therapist that addresses specific problems in a safe, confidential space.
- Group therapy: A small group of people – usually six to 12 – who meet on a regular basis for sharing and support with one or two group therapists leading the sessions.
- Family therapy: Private therapy sessions with family members to overcome challenges and address unresolved issues.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Psychotherapy that encourages people to question and examine recurring thoughts to phase out those that are negative or unhelpful.
- Motivational interview: An addiction treatment that’s intended to strengthen the person’s own motivation for and commitment to change in a way that’s consistent with their values.
- Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT): Psychotherapy that teaches people how to regulate their emotions and reduce self-destructive behaviors from intense emotions.
- 12-step programs: Peer support groups that help people recover from substance use disorders or process addiction with support from others with similar challenges.
- Medication-assisted therapy (MAT): Addiction treatment supported by the use of medication for specific substances.
Alternative and holistic therapies: Additional therapies like acupuncture, massage, art, or experiential therapy.[3]
Inpatient vs. Outpatient Addiction Treatment
The most appropriate level of care is determined by an assessment of each person’s individual circumstances and treatment needs. Though some of the therapies may be similar between inpatient and outpatient treatment, the environment and intensity are different.
Inpatient drug rehab programs require the person to stay at the facility to receive treatment and intensive specialized care. Residents are not permitted to leave the facility – other than for extenuating circumstances – to ensure supervision. This is important for people who need monitoring for withdrawal symptoms, struggle with external triggers, or have home environments that aren’t conducive to recovery.
With outpatient alcohol rehab or drug rehab, participants attend treatment sessions at a treatment center, clinic, or hospital according to a schedule. Once the sessions are complete, they can return home to tend to the responsibilities of day-to-day life. Outpatient treatment is ideal for people who need ongoing therapy but don’t require the intensive supervision of inpatient care, as well as people who want to balance recovery with daily responsibilities to work or family.
Cost of Inpatient Treatment
The cost of inpatient substance abuse treatment programs varies based on the treatment center, the level of care, and the length of time for treatment. Many insurance companies cover treatment for addiction and mental health disorders, so be sure to check with your provider to understand your treatment costs.

Benefits of Inpatient Rehab
Depending on your needs, inpatient rehab offers several advantages over intensive outpatient or outpatient care. Here are the benefits of inpatient rehab:
Safety and Security
Patients who attend inpatient treatment receive 24/7 supervision from a care team that may include licensed healthcare professionals and mental health professionals to ensure safety throughout the treatment experience.
Separation from External Influences and Triggers
Part of addiction recovery is distancing from people, places, and things that trigger substance use and learning to manage relapse triggers. With the full-time supervision and care of inpatient rehab, the triggers and external influences that can drive substance use are completely removed to focus on recovery.
Sense of Community and Support
Inpatient rehab facilities offer support from not only healthcare professionals but others who are experiencing similar struggles. Having a positive, supportive environment can foster well-being and strengthen resolve.
