Inpatient drug rehab, also sometimes called residential drug rehab, is a treatment option for individuals that require a change of environment and a more aggressive intervention while in treatment. Inpatient rehabilitation in Prim typically lasts anywhere from 1 month to several months, and many programs offer both short and long term treatment options. Additionally, some inpatient programs are prepared to provide both non-medical and medication assisted detoxification services, although some only treat people who have been detoxed at a detox center prior to arrival.
Within an inpatient residential drug rehab, it is similar to a small community of staff and clients all functioning together through the course of recovery. Treatment staff will do a careful assessment of the patient's needs, and a rehabilitation strategy is put in place that may involve therapy, counseling, psychotherapy, holistic treatment, etc. all depending on what treatment approach the rehab center is using. Some inpatient programs focus on the 12 steps, whereas others apply a therapeutic behavioral approach, which would incorporate the latest developments in addiction therapies.
Inpatient drug rehab also eliminates many of the risks associated with relapse, since the individual is continually supervised in a drug and alcohol free setting, and won't be tempted by any of the friends or drug dealers who motivated, supported or empowered their drug use.
