Residential (Inpatient) Rehab Treatment
Residential treatment is one of the most time-tested and reliable methods of addiction treatment. The full-time care, supportive structure, and safe environment provided by residential programs ensure that recovery clients get the attention they need within a distraction-free treatment center focused entirely on their healing. Many people turn to drugs and alcohol for pain relief or a way out of depression. Recovering from an addiction isn’t easy, but there are many ways you can make it easier and prevent relapse and maintain lasting sobriety for good.
With the unique challenges of drug and alcohol abuse, it’s important to have a plan. If you’re looking for inpatient treatment, there are various considerations and questions you’ll need to ask before choosing your best fit. At Riverside Recovery, we witness first-hand the successes of our inpatient treatment clients every day. We invite you to learn more about our modern approach to inpatient treatment and to find out how we can provide you or your loved one a chance to start fresh after struggling with substance abuse.
Program Care Overview
Is a Residential Treatment Program Right for Me?
Residential treatment is highly customizable and applicable to people at all stages of recovery. Whether you are dealing with an active addiction and currently abusing drugs or alcohol regularly, or whether you have had problems with substance abuse in the past and feel close to relapse, residential treatment can be an option. The only requirement for residential care is that you fully commit to full-time, round-the-clock recovery treatment for a certain amount of time — usually 30, 60 or 90 days, but with some flexibility or alternatives depending on the treatment center.
To find out if residential treatment is your best option, reach out to Riverside Recovery! Upon admission to our program, you will be evaluated by our staff and paired with the appropriate level of care for where you are in your recovery. We offer a range of levels of care from inpatient detox to an intensive outpatient program and will be sure to recommend the treatment that will benefit you most.
How Long Is Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
The average length of stay for residential treatment is 30 days, but Riverside Recovery offers longer programs (60-90 days) depending on several different factors.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), addiction is a complicated illness and effective treatment should follow several principles. Some of them include the following regarding the length of stay:
- Remaining in addiction treatment for an adequate amount of time is crucial. Research shows that most individuals need at least 90 days of inpatient treatment to largely reduce or stop their drug use. Recovery is a long-term process.
- Treatment programs should be unique to each individual. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation should be designed to each person’s needs and adjusted as needed.
Each person’s situation is different. The best way for you to determine how long inpatient treatment will be for you or your loved one is to speak with our admissions team for an initial assessment.
How To Determine The Right Inpatient Treatment Program For You
What is the right treatment program for you? Every person who needs addiction treatment is diverse and every inpatient treatment facility provides a variety of different treatment programs. Choosing the best treatment facility may feel exhausting so it’s important to make sure you’re asking the right questions. Some questions you should ask when deciding which treatment center is best for you should include:
- Is the program licensed and accredited by the Joint Commission, Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, or similar quality of care accreditation?
- What types of addictions does the treatment center treat?
- What kind of aftercare options does this inpatient rehab provide?
- Who is involved with the treatment team?
- What are my payment options? Will my insurance cover treatment?
- Can I use a cellphone at an inpatient drug rehab center?
- What types of therapy does the facility provide?
