Inpatient drug rehab, also sometimes called residential drug rehab, is a rehab method for people that need a change of environment and a more aggressive intervention while in treatment. Inpatient treatment in Arab normally lasts anywhere from 30 days to 3 - 6 months or longer, and many programs offer both short and long term rehabilitation options. Some inpatient facilities provide both non-medical and medically assisted detoxification services, however some only treat people who have already been detoxed at a detox center prior to arrival.
In inpatient drug rehab, it is similar to a small community of staff and clients who are functioning together through the course of recovery. Professional staff will do a complete assessment of the individual's treatment needs, and a rehabilitation strategy is put forth that will consist of therapy, counseling, psychotherapy, holistic treatment, etc. dependent upon what rehabilitation approach the facility is employing. Some inpatient programs implement the 12 steps, while others apply a more evidence based approach, which could incorporate the latest developments in addiction therapies.
Inpatient drug rehab also eliminates many of the risks associated with relapse, being that the individual is under constant supervision in a drug and alcohol free environment, and won't be tempted by any of the drug using friends who influenced, supported or empowered their substance use.
