ABOUT US

UsNoDrugs.com is a not-for-profit resource for the community, connecting people to addiction treatment and education resources. You can find information on addiction and treatment as well as detailed information on treatment centers nationwide. Our main goal is to provide a comprehensive resource for individuals who are seeking treatment regardless of their situation.


Inpatient Addiction Treatment

Inpatient addiction treatment is a type of recovery program that requires that you live in the drug rehab center for a given period of time. In many cases, you only need to stay in such a program for about 30 days. However, you may also find that a longer stay could prove to be beneficial to your long term recovery.

These programs offer unique accommodations. In some, you may receive basic residential services, including shared rooms, recreational activities such as ping pong and pool, and caf- style meals.

Others provide luxury residential services. In such a program, you can expect private luxury suites, gourmet meals, and various amenities like gyms, massage therapy sessions, spas, and pools.

Inpatient is unlike outpatient treatment in the sense that you would have to live at the treatment center. Both of these types of programs are equally focused on long term treatment and rehabilitation. However, they both have unique benefits and attributes to offer.

In an inpatient program, you will receive intensive residential treatment that could prove useful if you have a severe addiction. outpatient programs, on the other hand, are part time and will allow you to continue living at home, and going to school and work during the day.

The advantage with inpatient rehab is that it also offers round the clock medical supervision and care. As a result, it can prove useful if you are struggling with severe withdrawal symptoms during the initial period of recovery.

That said, most of these inpatient programs will also offer:

  • Aftercare planning
  • Community group meetings
  • Comprehensive evaluation
  • Daily group therapy
  • Individual therapy
  • Medication management, where required
  • Meetings with psychiatrics a couple of times each week
  • Ongoing review of your treatment and recovery goals
  • Peer group meetings
  • Professional addiction treatment planning
  • Recreational therapy, including yoga and meditation
  • Relapse prevention services
  • Round the clock medical supervision, monitoring, and care
  • Specialty group meetings

Who Is Inpatient Treatment Best For?

Inpatient addiction treatment might be beneficial if you:

  • Have a high risk of suffering adverse withdrawal symptoms after stopping your substance abuse
  • Have a severe substance use disorder
  • Have been diagnosed with co-occurring medical and mental health disorders over and above your addiction
  • Have been through another type of drug rehab program but it was not able to help you to remain sober for the long term
  • Have ever suffered a relapse in the past

In particular, inpatient treatment could prove useful if you have a dual diagnosis. This means that you would have been diagnosed with a co-occurring medical or mental health disorder like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, and depression over and above your addiction. In such a situation, you would have to address all these other disorders even as you receive treatment for your addiction.

Another thing to think about while considering inpatient treatment is the level of support and the type of environment that you have back at home. If this is the case, outpatient rehab could work well. Otherwise, you may have to go for inpatient drug rehab to ensure that the home environment does not lead to your relapse.

The best way to determine whether inpatient addiction treatment is right for you is to go for through evaluation and assessment with a licensed treatment professional. By so doing, the professional can help you consider all the various factors linked to your substance abuse and addiction. After that, they can ensure that you choose the best type and level of treatment program that can meet all your needs and preferences.

In the long run, you should keep in mind that inpatient drug rehab can prove useful as long as you have a substance use disorder. However, it would be more beneficial if you require more intense services and you have to be in an environment away from all external distractions and influences that could cause you to relapse.

Other benefits that you can gain from this type of program include:

  • Benefiting from the sense of community built around the drug rehab program
  • Establishing healthy boundaries that could reduce your risk of relapse once you are out of the inpatient center
  • Learning how to form and practice new healthy and sober habits
  • Nutritional support over the course of your treatment
  • Round the clock medical care and support
  • Structured addiction treatment programming and planning

How Long Is Inpatient Addiction Treatment?

In an inpatient drug rehab program, you would be required to live at a treatment center for a given period of time. The duration of your stay will largely be based on the type of program that you chose.

In particular, some of these programs will last for about 30 days. However, some of them might also require that you stay at the recovery facility for longer - such as for 60 or 90 days, or even longer than this.

The duration of your stay in an inpatient treatment center will depend on many different factors. These include but are not limited to:

  • Other factors that specifically relate to your progress in recovery
  • The existence of other co-occurring medical and mental health disorders over and above your addiction
  • The intensity of your substance abuse
  • The severity and duration of your substance abuse and addiction
  • The types of drugs that you were abusing
  • Whether or not you have already been through another rehab program in the past

In the same way, the duration of your stay will depend on the program that you make as you continue meeting the specific medical and clinical milestones that you set when you enrolled in the inpatient center.

In many cases, you will work with the residential clinical team - as well as with your insurance provider - to determine the best timetable and treatment plan for you. The important thing to keep in mind is that addiction does not occur in a matter of weeks. As a result, you may require more than a few weeks to recover fully even though you are in an inpatient center.

That said, inpatient addiction treatment may take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months. The duration will be based on the factors listed above, among many others.

Average Cost of Inpatient Treatment

The average cost of inpatient addiction treatment will depend on various factors. These include but are not always limited to:

  • If you have a public or private health insurance policy that can offset part or all of the cost of your care in the inpatient center
  • If you will be making a transition to another recovery program once you check out of the inpatient center
  • The duration of your stay in the treatment program
  • The level of medical and clinical care that was recommended for you
  • The location of your chosen inpatient center, whether it is in-state or out of state
  • The type of treatment center that you chose
  • Whether you are going to need detox services as part of your treatment plan

The total amount of money that you will end up paying will also be based on whether or not your insurance provider will provide you with coverage to offset part or all of the cost of your treatment. To this end, it is recommended that you talk to your insurance provider to find out about the coverage specifics that relate to your case.

You can, however, reduce the total cost of care in such a program by choosing a center that offers financial assistance and funding. Alternatively, you could go to an inpatient treatment program that is free of charge. The only drawback with this option is that you may have to be in a waiting list for some time before you can access the recovery services you need.

In most cases, inpatient drug rehab will often cost you more than outpatient treatment. However, the treatment facilities available range from luxury programs to basic facilities. As such, the cost will vary widely based on the type of facility that you choose.

How Do I Go About Finding Inpatient Treatment?

Some of the questions that you may want to ask while looking for the right inpatient treatment program include:

  • What types of drug addiction does this program treat?
  • Which kinds of therapy are available with this program?
  • Which types of aftercare, sober living, and relapse prevention options are available?
  • Which credentials does the center have?
  • Does the center provide peer group programs?
  • What are the payment options available?
  • You may also want to have the following considerations in mind as you chose a residential drug rehab program:
  • Availability of medication treatment
  • Comfort
  • Credentialing
  • Customer reviews
  • Follow-up support provided
  • Location of the center
  • The availability of dual diagnosis treatment, if you need it
  • The treatment approaches used
  • The typical day at the treatment center

Conclusion

Overall, inpatient drug rehab can prove useful irrespective of the duration and severity of your substance use disorder. As long as you can afford this type of care, it could be the right way for you to overcome your addiction and any other co-occurring disorders that you may also have been diagnosed with.
