Hospital / inpatientDetox availableHow inpatient drug rehab works
Inpatient drug treatment starts with an assessment and, when needed, detox under medical supervision. From there, the team stabilizes physical and mental health and begins therapy while you stay on site.
Because doctors and nurses are close at hand, inpatient programs can treat people with complicated medical histories, co-occurring mental health conditions or a history of severe withdrawal.
What to expect
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
Before you choose inpatient drug rehab
People usually move from inpatient care to residential or outpatient treatment once they're medically stable. If opioids are involved, ask inpatient programs near Richardson whether they start buprenorphine or another medication and who continues it after discharge.
What to ask a program
- How are medical emergencies handled at night?
- Has prior authorization been requested?
- What's the next level of care after discharge?

Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover inpatient drug rehab in Texas?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care. Texas law requires group plans to cover chemical dependency treatment on terms no less favorable than physical illness, and state and federal parity rules apply. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Texas, Health and Safety Code Chapter 462 also lets a family member or other adult apply to the county court for court-ordered treatment, with a physician's certificate attached, when someone's addiction makes them likely to cause serious harm or keep deteriorating. See our guide to court-ordered treatment in Texas.
Who needs inpatient drug rehab instead of outpatient?
Inpatient care fits people with severe withdrawal risk, serious medical or mental health needs, unsafe home situations or repeated relapses in outpatient care.
How long do inpatient stays last?
Inpatient stays are often shorter than residential programs, from several days for detox and stabilization to a few weeks, followed by residential or outpatient care.
