Residential / inpatientHow residential addiction treatment works
Residential addiction treatment covers live-in programs for drug and alcohol addiction, often alongside mental health care. You stay at the facility for weeks or months, with a full schedule of therapy and support and staff available at all hours.
It suits people who have not been able to stop with outpatient care, whose home environment makes recovery harder, or who simply need a reset away from daily pressures.
What to expect
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
