What is Residential Treatment?

Residential treatment for addiction is a type of treatment in which people with addictions live at the treatment center. This allows them to receive 24-hour care and supervision. People who opt for this type of treatment usually have severe addictions and need more support than outpatient treatment programs can provide.

What is the Difference Between Residential and Outpatient Treatment?

Outpatient treatment is less expensive, allows patients to keep their jobs and support their families, and is typically shorter in duration than inpatient residential treatment. Outpatient treatment may be less successful than inpatient residential treatment in retaining patients in treatment and producing abstinence, but some studies have found that it can be as effective as inpatient treatment in reducing drug use and criminal activity. Inpatient treatment requires patients to live at the treatment facility for the duration of their treatment. This allows patients to receive around-the-clock care and support from staff members who are familiar with their individual needs. Inpatient residential treatment may be more successful than outpatient treatment in retaining patients in treatment and producing abstinence, but it is also more expensive and typically requires a longer commitment from patients.

Who is a Good Fit for Inpatient Treatment?

Some people benefit from inpatient treatment because they need a structured environment and around-the-clock care. This can be especially helpful for people who are struggling with severe addiction or mental health issues. Inpatient treatment can also be a good option for people who have relapsed after trying to recover on their own or through outpatient treatment.

What are the Benefits of Inpatient Rehab in Houston?

Residential treatment provides a number of benefits for those struggling with addiction. Perhaps most importantly, it allows individuals to receive around-the-clock care in a safe and structured environment. This can be especially beneficial for those who have been through detox and are in need of close supervision as they adjust to life without drugs or alcohol. Residential treatment also allows individuals to focus solely on their recovery. This can be extremely beneficial, as it can help them to avoid triggers and distractions that could lead to a relapse. Additionally, most inpatient residential treatment programs offer a variety of therapeutic activities and therapies that can help individuals build the skills they need to stay sober after they leave treatment.

How Does Inpatient Rehab Work?

Inpatient residential treatment for addiction typically lasts between 30 and 90 days. During this time, patients live at the treatment facility and receive around-the-clock care from medical and mental health professionals. This allows them to focus on their recovery without having to worry about day-to-day responsibilities such as work or childcare. Room and board are taken care of as well in this treatment program.
