Addiction treatment centerAbout inpatient drug rehab
Inpatient drug rehab is the most intensive level of addiction care. You stay at a hospital or licensed treatment facility with 24-hour medical and clinical staff, which makes it the right fit when withdrawal, health problems or safety are a concern.
People often use "inpatient" and "residential" to mean the same thing. Strictly, inpatient care is more medically focused, while residential care is centered on therapy and daily structure.
What to expect
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
