Inpatient Rehab
Rehabilitative treatment may be necessary for those who have recently been afflicted with an ailment that requires extensive medical attention, such as a drug or alcohol addiction. Short-term inpatient rehab vs. outpatient therapy may be discussed as part of your treatment strategy.
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 benefit from inpatient rehab by achieving some level of sobriety, whether from AUD- alcohol use disorder, SUD-substance use disorder, or any other drug use disorder. The treatment benefits people suffering from severe co-occurring disorders, leading to dual diagnosis. SUDs are such that they occur in a spectrum of severities, meaning the condition is either severe, moderate, or mild.
How Inpatient Rehab Operates
Typically, an inpatient rehab lasts for 30 to 90 days. However, further treatment might be necessary depending on the patient's diagnosis, with additional options available. A patient diagnosed with a dual diagnosis might suffer from a form of SUD together with other mental health disorders such as opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, anxiety, depression, etc.
This type of treatment requires patients to stay in the treatment facility for the entire treatment period. This way, patients can recover much more quickly with a structured program, have support and the guidance of the staff, and be fully involved in the recovery process.
Timeline
As we have said above, though inpatient programs might last 30 to 60 to 90 days depending on the patient, a typical doctor at an inpatient rehab generally takes you through the following 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 whereby your body rids itself of external chemicals. Depending on the facility, detoxification might happen in a separate facility. This second stage has proven to be the most dangerous due to worsened withdrawal symptoms, though some patients do not require this stage. These symptoms might include delirium tremens, hallucinations, seizures, etc.
They Medically and Psychologically Treat You
This stage depends on initial evaluation results and the patient's progress through treatment. There are a variety of medical treatments and therapeutic activities like massage therapy, meditation, yoga, writing, etc. This stage also includes several 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 inpatient programs, most patients join an outpatient program to form a support network tailored to keep patients afloat, eliminate risks of relapse and offer any assistance where needed. Group or individual counseling are also possible solutions during this stage. You should also note that the maintenance stage can last for a lifetime, If not for years.

Prepare for Inpatient Rehab
Getting ready for an inpatient program helps you mentally prepare for the road ahead; it keeps you calm and controls your nerves. Below are a few things you can do to help prepare you for rehab and have a positive experience while at it:
Inpatient Rehab Therapies
While all inpatient rehab centers are geared towards providing a conducive environment for patients to achieve sobriety, they still differ in their areas of specialization. While some focus on specific substance abuse disorders, others focus on particular treatment approaches. Yet still, others specialize in utilizing different methods. 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-CBT is a goal-oriented, short term and evidence-based treatment. CBT is also referred to as talk therapy- psychotherapy treatment that helps patients change their thinking and behavior patterns. These patterns are meant to change by focusing on attitudes, thoughts, beliefs, and images causing their problematic behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavior therapy-DBT, a type of evidence-based psychotherapy treatment, uses cognitive behavioral therapy methodologies but focuses on the recovery process. This treatment is highly recommended for people with extreme mood swings or other high emotional reactions in social situations. Patients work through their problems with their doctors and support staff, often involving role-play, homework, and practice.
Contingency Management
Contingency management is a behavioral therapy, also known as evidence-based therapy. This treatment reinforces the patient's desire to continue working on their addiction by giving rewards when they record a positive behavioral change. The doctors work on" a patient is more likely to continue with a positive behavior shortly after completion when rewarded."
Person-Centered Counseling
Person-centered counseling mainly focuses on the patient, with the doctor helping the patient express their acceptance without judgment. The doctors engage the patient, influencing change talk and positively motivating them. The patient can change towards their desired goals during the process.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Care
Inpatient rehabilitation centers differ from place to place in terms of their costs. Compare various rehab centers to get the best option for your pocket. However, most offer financial assistance, provide financing options and accept insurance.
Insurance coverage has proven to be effective in paying for rehab over time. The range covers usually depend on the health provider, insurer, and insurance plan. But, most facilities will accept Medicare, Military Insurance, Private Insurance, Medicaid, and State-financed health insurance.
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 enable patients to stick to daily, weekly, and monthly schedules that make it easy to stay focused on their recovery.
Inpatient treatments offer holistic support. This means 24/7 medical, clinical, and spiritual support to heal the patient's mental and physical well-being damaged by addiction.
Aftercare planning; after completing an inpatient program, it is not the end of healing or rehab; you may require additional support once you finish. 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 come in handy during these times and help ensure people support one another and practice good behaviors before discharge.
Nutritional support; since detoxification eliminates certain external chemicals from your body, you will need a nutritious diet to recover from the process safely. A health specialist at an inpatient center knows the best diets for the patient's physical health.
