Inpatient care initially begins with medical detoxification or can extend through residential detox. Either way, when you first arrive at a rehabilitation facility, you will be registered as a client, your medical history will be reviewed, and you will be given a thorough medical examination. Depending on when you last used drugs or alcohol, you may have already begun to experience withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, confusion, or nausea. When clients attempt to detox on their own by going “cold turkey”, changes often take place in the brain and the rest of the body that require close medical monitoring. With inpatient care, a staff of medical professionals is on hand to monitor your progress and wellness and tend to your medical needs.
Duration of Treatment
Inpatient drug or alcohol rehab can be regarded as “home away from home” for the time it takes to complete the detox process. Typically, the duration of inpatient drug or alcohol rehab can be from about a week to about a month depending on the level of care. For more intensive programs, or for those who require additional medical or psychological treatment, the process can include other levels of care with attention lasting several months.
What Treatment is Administered in Inpatient Rehab?
During inpatient rehab, you will first receive medical treatment to detox your body from the abused substance. When ready, you will receive additional help in the form of psychological and emotional support. A typical day may include individual counseling, group therapy, and educational meetings. Depending on the facility you attend, there will also be opportunities to engage in other physical and recreational activities. Studies have found that this series of treatment is the most practical and effective way to successfully treat problems with addiction.
Counseling Sessions
During individual counseling sessions, you will be given the tools and actionable steps needed to cope with your issues today as well as in the future. You will also have opportunities to discuss any underlying issues such as past trauma that may have influenced your drug-related choices.
Group Therapy
Group therapy allows you to participate in group discussions with professional therapists and fellow rehab patients to help cultivate support, understanding, and empathy, and to help encourage a “yes, I can” way of thinking.
