Residential / inpatientDual diagnosisAbout 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
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
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 San Antonio.
Questions to ask
- How are medical emergencies handled at night?
- Has prior authorization been requested?
- Is it a hospital unit, a detox program or a residential program?
