Inpatient drug rehab — also called residential treatment — is a live-in recovery program that provides structure, therapy, and support throughout the day.
People stay at the treatment center while focusing on recovery, mental health stability, and relapse-prevention skills in a structured environment.
Many people choose inpatient rehab when they need distance from triggers, consistent support, and a predictable routine while beginning recovery.
Inpatient treatment is often recommended when someone needs more support than outpatient care can provide.
Some people begin with detox treatment and then move into residential treatment to continue building stability.
