Inpatient drug rehab, also known as residential drug rehab, is a recovery option for people that require a change of environment and receive very comprehensive treatment. Inpatient treatment in Gas commonly lasts anywhere from 30 days to several months, and some programs provide both short and long term rehabilitation options. Additionally, some inpatient programs offer both non-medical and medically assisted detox services, but some only accept clients who have already been safely detoxed at a detox program prior to arrival.
Within an inpatient drug rehab, it is a lot like a small community of clients and staff all working together through the process of rehabilitation. Rehab staff will do a complete assessment of the client's issues, and a rehabilitation plan is developed that will consist of counseling, therapy, holistic treatment, psychotherapy, etc. based on what treatment methodology that rehab center is utilizing. Some inpatient programs concentrate on the 12 steps, while others employ a therapeutic behavioral method, which would include more advanced therapies and psychotherapies.
Inpatient drug rehab also eliminates the risks of relapse, because the patient is being supervised 24/7 in a drug and alcohol free setting, and won't be tempted by any of the drug using friends who motivated, supported or empowered their drug use.
