How inpatient drug rehab works

Choosing inpatient drug rehab means choosing round-the-clock care for the hardest part of recovery. Inpatient programs manage withdrawal, treat health complications and start the counseling that carries into the next phase of treatment.

Stays are often shorter than residential programs, and many people step down to residential, partial hospitalization or outpatient care afterward.

What to expect

• Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
• Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
• Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
• A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities

Inpatient Drug Rehab in Texas: what to know

Inpatient care is the most medically intensive option. Licensed Texas detox programs must keep a physician on call around the clock, a licensed nurse on duty at least eight hours a day, and check symptoms and vital signs every four hours for the first 72 hours. That's the level of oversight to expect from inpatient drug treatment near Brownsville.

Questions to ask

• What's the next level of care after discharge?
• Has prior authorization been requested?
• Is it a hospital unit, a detox program or a residential program?
