Understanding inpatient Treatment

What is Inpatient Rehab?

Inpatient rehab is a 24-hour structured and comprehensive care conducted in licensed and residential treatment centers and entails:

  • Scheduling patient treatment.

  • Offering safe housing.

  • Providing a substance-free environment.

  • Offering medical attention.

Most patients gain from inpatient rehab. They often reach some level of sobriety. This applies to those with AUD, SUD, or other drug use disorders.

The treatment benefits people suffering from severe co-occurring disorders, leading to dual diagnosis. SUDs can vary in severity. They can be severe, moderate, or mild.

The Process & Structure of Inpatient Treatment

How Inpatient Rehab Operates

An inpatient rehab usually lasts for 30 to 90 days. However, more treatment may be needed based on the patient’s diagnosis.

There are also other options available. A patient with a dual diagnosis may have a substance use disorder (SUD) and other mental health issues. These issues can include opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, anxiety, and depression.

This type of treatment requires patients to stay in the facility for the whole treatment period. This helps patients recover faster with a structured program. They get support and guidance from the staff. They can also be fully involved in their recovery.

Timeline

Inpatient treatment programs usually last 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on the patient. A typical doctor at an inpatient rehab will guide you through these steps:

They Evaluate You

The doctor screens you clinically before coming up with a diagnosis. The test usually lasts a couple of hours, after which you receive the results of your urine test and interview. These results typically determine the potential treatment plan.

You Undergo Detoxification

Detoxification is a process where your body gets rid of harmful chemicals. Depending on the place, detox may happen in a different facility.

This second stage is the most dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms can get worse during this time. However, some patients do not need to go through this stage. These symptoms might include delirium tremens, hallucinations, seizures, etc.

They Medically and Psychologically Treat You

This stage relies on the results of the initial evaluation and the patient’s progress in treatment. There are many medical treatments and activities like massage therapy, meditation, yoga, and writing. This stage also includes different group counseling therapies.

Transition

Your doctor will assist you with several tools and techniques to help you adjust to a sober life after inpatient treatment. These tools include coping mechanisms that deter you from possible relapses.

Maintenance

The maintenance stage is designed to help patients recover from addiction. After an inpatient rehabilitation program, most patients join a support group or an outpatient program. This helps them build a support system.

The network helps keep patients stable and lowers the risk of relapse. It also provides support when needed. Group or individual counseling can be good options during this stage. Remember, the maintenance stage can last for a lifetime or just for years.

Therapeutic Approaches

Inpatient Rehab Therapies

All inpatient rehab centers aim to create a supportive environment for patients to get sober. However, they differ in their specializations.

Some people focus on specific substance abuse disorders. Others focus on certain treatment methods. Some specialize in using different techniques. Choosing an inpatient treatment facility depends on several factors, including:

  • Age.

  • Financial and insurance status.

  • Substance use disorder type.

  • Mental health condition.

  • Medical history.

Some of the most effective therapies include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a short-term and goal-focused treatment. It is also called talk therapy. This therapy helps patients change their thoughts and behaviors. CBT looks at attitudes, thoughts, beliefs, and images that cause problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is a type of evidence-based psychotherapy. It uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy but focuses on long-term recovery.

This treatment is highly recommended for people with extreme mood swings or strong emotional reactions in social situations.

Patients work through their problems with doctors and support staff. This often includes role-play, homework, and practice.

Contingency Management

Contingency management is a type of behavioral therapy. It is also called evidence-based therapy.

This treatment helps patients stay motivated to work on their addiction. They earn rewards for making positive changes in their behavior. Doctors find that patients are more likely to keep good habits after treatment when they receive rewards.

Person-Centered Counseling

Person-centered counseling focuses on the patient. The doctor helps the patient express their feelings without judgment. Doctors engage with the patient to encourage change and motivate them positively. This process allows the patient to move toward their goals.

A Guided Journey to Healing

Inpatient Rehab Benefits

Inpatient rehab benefits its patients by offering a highly structured environment and access to various amenities and services. They include:

Structured programs help patients follow daily, weekly, and monthly schedules. This makes it easier for them to focus on their recovery. 

Inpatient treatments offer holistic support. This means providing medical, clinical, and spiritual support all day, every day. This support helps heal the patient’s mental and physical health affected by addiction. 

Aftercare planning is important. Completing an inpatient program does not mean healing is over. You may need more support after finishing. These programs’ counselors and caseworkers ensure you get the necessary help and tools to lead a sober and healthy life. 

Sense of community: Many inpatient patients have had similar experiences and connected them. Co-living and group therapies are helpful during these times. They ensure people support each other and practice good behaviors before leaving.

Nutritional support: Detox removes some chemicals from your body. To recover safely, you will need a healthy diet. A health specialist at an inpatient center knows the best diets for the patient’s physical health.
