Benefits of Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab is designed to provide support to patients to help them overcome addiction and immerse themselves in their treatment program without distractions or daily stress.[1] Some key benefits of inpatient rehab include:

A structured and supportive environment: Inpatient rehab nurtures routine in a safe and substance-free setting with others going through similar struggles. Without daily triggers and distractions, patients can focus on the tasks necessary for their recovery.
24/7 medical and emotional support: Inpatient rehab provides 24/7 support and access to medical professionals to assist with prolonged withdrawal symptoms or medical challenges that affect recovery. There are always therapists and counselors available for emotional support, which is crucial in the early stages of recovery.
Intensive therapy and counseling: Inpatient rehab includes a range of therapies based on the patient’s treatment plan, such as group therapy for peer support, individual therapy, behavioral therapy to address the unhelpful behaviors that contribute to substance abuse, and family therapy to repair relationships that may have been harmed by addiction.

Mental health and dual diagnosis support: Inpatient rehab can be the ideal setting for patients struggling with co-occurring mental disorders like anxiety, depression, or PTSD that may complicate addiction treatment.
Peer support and community: Inpatient rehab encourages accountability through group interactions in a communal environment. Patients often form meaningful, long-term friendships with others in recovery, which can aid them as they transition into everyday life.

Are Inpatient Rehab Programs Effective?

Residential addiction treatment can be effective for patients who need 24/7 support and supervision. Studies suggest that inpatient care can have a positive impact on substance use recovery and quality of life, including a lower risk of relapse, longer periods of abstinence after rehab, and relief from co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.[2]
Though different settings may be more successful for other patients, residential treatment can be a crucial aspect of the continuum of care due to its comprehensive and immersive environment that builds a strong foundation in the early, vulnerable stages of addiction recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Buckeystown Treatment Center

How Long Does Inpatient Addiction Treatment Last?

Drug and alcohol rehab in an inpatient setting can vary in length of stay based on the patient’s needs and treatment plan, individual progress, and severity of addiction. However, the average length of stay for inpatient rehab in our Buckeystown location is 21 days.

What’s the Difference Between Inpatient and Outpatient Drug Addiction Treatment?

The key difference between inpatient and outpatient drug addiction treatment is the residential aspect. With inpatient treatment, patients reside at the location for a specific period, which is typically a few weeks. In contrast, outpatient treatment offers flexibility for clients to live at home and tend to their responsibilities while balancing addiction recovery. Inpatient treatment is preferred for patients who lack a supportive home environment and benefit from the structured environment.

Can Family Members Visit During Inpatient Addiction Treatment?

Patients may be allowed family visits during designated times during inpatient rehabilitation, depending on their treatment plan. Family involvement can be a crucial part of recovery, notably through family therapy sessions that focus on family dynamics and provide support.

What Happens After Inpatient Rehab?

Once inpatient rehab is complete, patients may continue with outpatient treatment and similar therapies on a less-rigorous schedule, sober living homes, or aftercare programs that support long-term recovery. Continued therapy, support groups, and relapse prevention strategies are essential for long-term success.

How Much Is Inpatient Rehab?

Many insurance providers offer coverage for addiction treatment, including major providers. If patients lack adequate coverage, the Freedom Center provides flexible payment options to accommodate different financial situations. We understand that costs can be a barrier to people seeking treatment and do all that we can to make recovery accessible to those who need it most.

Is Residential Treatment a Lockdown Facility?

Inpatient treatment at the Freedom Center takes place in an open rehab center. Patients are free to leave but encouraged to remain on site for their treatment to avoid any risks of relapse or hindering their progress.

Are Phones or Laptops Allowed in Rehab?

Cell phones are generally not allowed in residential treatment facilities due to privacy laws that protect the rights of other patients. Laptops are generally not allowed in residential treatment, but there may be exceptions for extenuating circumstances.

Are There Private Rooms?

Inpatient treatment at our recovery center does not offer private rooms, but patients stay in semi-private rooms with one or two other patients.

What Are the Rules in Inpatient Treatment?

Each addiction treatment center has different rules for patients in residential treatment. Typically, these rules are centered around accountability and supporting recovery, such as attending required therapy sessions, being punctual, and not engaging in any substance use or violence on the property.
