When struggling with a substance use disorder, it’s important to understand your treatment options. Depending on the severity of the addiction, either inpatient or outpatient treatment may be recommended. Inpatient treatment—also known as residential treatment—provides a live-in environment that is fully monitored around the clock for those with severe addictions and needing the most support. But what is residential treatment like?
Residential treatment allows clients to remove drugs or alcohol from their bodies in the safest way possible. The client lives on-site for the duration of treatment, allowing maximum support and supervision. The process of withdrawing from drugs or alcohol can be very challenging and pose health risks, especially if attempted on one’s own. That is why it is best to have a professional treatment center supervising this process.

What Does Residential Addiction Treatment Look Like?
Each person’s treatment journey will look different, but the goal is the same for all—lifelong recovery. A residential treatment program is a safe and supportive home-away-from-home for those battling severe addictions. Having support 24 hours a day as you go through the hardest parts of treatment—like withdrawal—will maximize the effectiveness of treatment and help you avoid a relapse.
Clients receive structured and supervised programming and therapies in a structured regimen that provides support and accountability to meet their treatment goals. Being in a comfortable setting that feels like a home creates a balance when clients are challenged with the hard parts of the treatment journey. Group, individual, and family therapy sessions are paired with experiential and recreational therapies like art, equine, and yoga therapy.
For those with extreme addictions, residential treatment provides an easier transition to an outpatient program and integration into their everyday life as a newly sober person.
Benefits of Residential Addiction Treatment
Residential addiction treatment has many benefits, one of the most important being that it can be customized to accommodate each person. One of the hallmarks of a top-notch treatment experience is this holistic approach to treatment that allows for a variety of therapies—different combinations for each person—to come together to help a person individually. So many factors come into play when crafting a treatment plan. These can include:
- A person’s age
- The severity of the person’s addiction
- Personal medical history
- The substance they are addicted to
- If a co-occurring mental health disorder exists
Benefits of residential treatment include:
Structure and Security
Addiction wreaks havoc on one’s life, and it can be hard to get back to a healthy routine. Having a disciplined and structured treatment environment that gives you the tools to stay on track can be highly beneficial to achieving long-term sobriety. Providing everything needed to fully focus on treatment and recovery is what residential treatment is all about.
Experiential and Evidence-based Therapies
A combination of evidence-based therapies and holistic approaches provides a comprehensive approach to treatment. While many evidence-based therapies require a practitioner as part of the process, experiential or recreational therapy can be practiced independently and brought into everyday life—once you leave treatment—as a regular practice.
Supervision and Support
Between the support of professionals, peers, and family, each client in residential treatment receives multiple layers of support in the safest and most secure supervised treatment environment possible.
