Inpatient drug rehab, also known as residential drug rehab, is a rehab option for people that need a change of environment and receive very comprehensive treatment. Inpatient rehabilitation in Howe usually lasts anywhere from 30 days to 3 - 6 months or longer, and some programs offer both short and long term treatment options. Additionally, some inpatient facilities are prepared to provide both drug free and medication assisted detoxification services, however some only treat individuals who have already been detoxed at a detoxification program prior to arrival.
In inpatient residential drug rehab, it is a lot like a small community of staff and clients all working collectively through the process of rehabilitation. Treatment staff will do a thorough evaluation of the patient's needs, and a treatment strategy is put in place that may include counseling, therapy, holistic treatment, psychotherapy, etc. all depending on what treatment methodology that program is utilizing. Some inpatient programs focus on the 12 steps, while others utilize a therapeutic behavioral method, which could include more advanced therapies and psychotherapies.
Inpatient drug rehab also eliminates the risks of relapse, being that the individual is continually supervised in a clean and sober environment, and won't be tempted by any of the people who motivated, supported or empowered their substance use.
