What Is Inpatient/Residential Treatment?

Inpatient or residential treatment is the most intensive level of addiction care. You live at the treatment facility full-time, typically for 30-90 days, receiving round-the-clock support and structure. This immersive approach removes you from triggers, people, and environments that contribute to substance use.

What to Expect

  • 24/7 medical and clinical supervision
  • Structured daily schedule (therapy, groups, meals)
  • Individual and group counseling sessions
  • Safe, substance-free environment
  • Meals, housing, and all basic needs provided

Who It's For

  • Severe or long-term addiction
  • Multiple failed attempts at sobriety
  • Unsafe or unstable home environment
  • Need complete break from triggers
  • Medical complications requiring monitoring

Typical Length of Stay

Most residential programs last 30, 60, or 90 days. Research shows longer stays (90+ days) significantly improve long-term success rates. Your treatment team will help determine the right duration based on your individual needs and progress.

Getting Stable First

Inpatient treatment focuses on getting you physically and mentally stable from substances. Many withdrawal symptoms and behaviors associated with active addiction can mirror other conditions. Once you're sober and stable, you can accurately assess any additional needs and make clear decisions about your next steps in recovery.
