Widely recognized as an effective method for treating addiction for long-term recovery, inpatient rehabilitation is an immersive process that is overseen by trained, certified professionals in the realms of addiction medicine, mental health and detoxification. This often includes a holistic program that can last anywhere from weeks to months.

When checking into an inpatient facility, a patient is provided with around-the-clock access to doctors and support staff. In many cases, patients are in extremely poor health when checking into these facilities. Many programs offer a combination of detox, treatments that focus on abstinence from drugs and alcohol, therapy to change behavioral patterns and support for pursuing a sober, substance-free lifestyle.
