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
- Care for co-occurring anxiety, depression or trauma
- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT and motivational interviewing
- Help arranging care after you leave
- 24-hour staff and a structured, substance-free setting

Frequently asked questions
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
