Residential Drug Rehab: The Inpatient Treatment Option

Inpatient Residential Treatment RehabFinding the right drug and alcohol treatment center can be overwhelming with all the different types of programs available. With so many terms, acronyms and levels of care, many are overwhelmed before they even decide on a program. Residential Day Treatment, Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, Inpatient are just a few of the more commons ones. The most well known, inpatient and residential is what has become synonymous when people think of “drug and alcohol rehab.”

The main factor with this type of program is that you live under the care of your treatment center. This can be in the form of a hospital like care facility or in the form of a less structured sober living environment. The basic premise is the same though; you are in a structured and sober environment that’s conducive to your recovery. These facilities vary in length of stay, amenities and philosophy. A typical stay in a program like this varies from facility to facility, but holds the same basic principle; removal from your triggers and time to concentrate on your recovery. Evidence shows that most individuals with chronic and late stage addictions seeking treatment see the most success after a stay in an inpatient or residential program.

Though these programs differ, most will consist of group therapy, individual therapy and group inclusion activities; regardless of the facility. Residential facilities come in many different shapes and sizes, but all exist for the sole purpose of helping someone get sober. Most people who have completed a residential stay will tell you that if it wasn’t for a treatment program, they would not be sober today.  If you’re looking for a structured, safe and secure way to get sober, residential treatment is always a reliable way to do it. Checking yourself into a residential treatment program can be difficult, frightening and hard to do, but the reward is always greater than the risk. The hardest part about treatment is the initial phone call. The sooner someone takes the step, the sooner they are on the path to recovery and living a life free of drugs and alcohol.

If you think you have a problem, residential treatment is one of the best ways to get the help you need. If you or someone you know is looking for some type of treatment, call a treatment center and learn more about their services. Most residential programs can answer any questions you may have about treatment and can help relieve some of the anxiety of the unknown over a phone. While residential treatment is not the only form of help for someone suffering from addiction, it is never a bad place to start the journey of recovery.
