What Is Inpatient Rehab?

Inpatient rehab, also called residential treatment, is an intensive form of addiction treatment where you live at the facility for the duration of your program. You'll have access to medical professionals 24/7, participate in daily therapy sessions, and follow a structured schedule designed to help you build the foundation for lasting recovery.

Overview

Inpatient rehabilitation provides round-the-clock care in a residential setting. Patients live at the facility and receive a combination of individual therapy, group counseling, medical monitoring, and holistic activities.
