Residential Treatment Programs

Last Updated December 12, 2021

What kinds of disorders do residential programs treat?

Residential programs treat substance abuse and mental health disorders, which can include a wide spectrum of addictions and mood disorders. Addiction and mental health issues are often co-occurring and should be addressed at the same time, which is known as dual diagnosis treatment. Some psychiatric conditions and substance withdrawal symptoms can be quite severe and may require close observation, supervision, and medical care, which is why having access to an in-patient program with an excellent clinical staff is so important.

How long are inpatient rehab programs?

It depends on the needs of the client, and what their financial circumstances will allow. Inpatient programs can be anywhere from 30-90 days, although some treatment centers offer longer treatment programs.

What should I look for in an inpatient program?

There are a number of factors that can determine if a treatment program is right for you. The most important thing to look for is to make sure that the treatment center you are considering specializes in the disorder or issue you need assistance with, and to decide if their treatment approach is right for you. Some treatment centers are more clinically focused, while others have a more holistic approach and offer alternative therapies in addition to traditional forms of therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
