Inpatient Treatment For Substance Use Disorders
Unparalleled Treatment, Lasting Recovery
True, holistic recovery requires focus. It requires peace and serenity. Inpatient or residential treatment programs offer the safest and most effective environment where you’ll receive the daily treatment and support you need to pursue lifelong recovery.
Who Needs Inpatient Treatment?
An inpatient program for substance addiction treatment is a critical stage of early recovery that offers comprehensive treatment and care. Inpatient treatment services are tailored for those with a more acute disorder who are unable to maintain sobriety on their own or anyone whose disorder interferes with their ability to function.[1]
Other circumstances that may
require inpatient treatment:
- You’ve just completed detox for substance use
- You could pose harm to yourself or others
- You have co-occurring disorder (dual diagnosis)
- There are underlying mental health concerns
- You or a loved one have made previous failed attempts at recovery
Every patient’s life and circumstance is unique and there may be other influencing factors that make residential care the best treatment option for you or your loved one. To learn more about inpatient treatment programs at Alpas Wellness or discuss enrollment, call today.
Inpatient Treatment vs. Outpatient Treatment
Inpatient Treatment
Impatient treatment is different from Outpatient Treatment in both the level of care and where the patient resides. Inpatient treatment or a residential treatment program is a full-time facility where patients sleep, eat, and temporarily receive treatment.
At an inpatient treatment center, you receive clinical support 24/7 in a safe, sober, and serene environment.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient Treatment encompasses several levels of care, from partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs to standard outpatient treatment. These programs are a good fit for someone who has already completed a higher level of treatment. This will be someone who has already established a strong sense of personal autonomy with the coping skills to manage their disorder in their pursuit of long-term recovery.

Aftercare Planning & Relapse Prevention
Once formal treatment has ended, an ongoing treatment plan will be created to help you continue in your recovery journey for life. It will include practical aftercare planning, ongoing treatment as needed, relapse prevention strategies, and emergency plans.
What Are The Benefits of Residential Treatment?
Residential treatment gives you the freedom to recover in peace with no distractions. Everyone here is either on a recovery journey of their own with a similar goal-oriented mindset or is a highly trained professional here to support you.
Detox treatment proves more effective when supported by ongoing residential care, as the patient can continue treatment in a safe environment. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that effective treatment of drug addiction has a similar success rate as other chronic medical conditions and that the longer one remains in treatment, the more successful recovery will be.[3]
What Happens After Residential Treatment?
Inpatient rehab programs are intended to be short-term treatment programs where the length of stay lasts an average of 30 to 90 days.
Ensuring your or your loved ones have the support and resources they need to succeed means support doesn’t end with residential treatment.
Once a formal treatment program has been completed, a lower level of care, such as outpatient treatment, may begin based on the patient’s individual needs. Our inpatient addiction treatment center offers access to a full continuum of care that supports recovery from the earliest stages onward.
What’s the Best Way to Find Inpatient Treatment?
There are a number of reliable ways to find a substance abuse treatment facility that meets your needs, including speaking with your doctor or therapist, asking trusted friends and family for a referral, searching the database provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), or calling a drug addiction helpline.
