What Is Inpatient Rehab?

Inpatient rehab, also called residential treatment, is a highly structured, intensive level of addiction treatment. Clients live at the facility, away from drugs or alcohol, and receive evidence-based treatment from licensed professionals throughout the day. Inpatient rehab helps you focus 100% on your recovery to give you the tools you need to stay sober.

FAQs About Inpatient Rehab

How long is inpatient rehab?

The time it takes to complete rehab varies depending on the person’s behavioral health needs and substance use history. Our inpatient rehab programs typically last 28–30 days after a medical detox period. Most clients complete their medical detox, inpatient rehab and PHP/IOP levels in 50 to 60 days.

Leaving treatment early often leads to relapse and overdose, so we always encourage clients to complete their treatment plan in full. However, clients may leave treatment, even against medical advice, at any time as long as they are not a danger to themselves or others.

 

Yes, many people have started their lifelong recovery journey with inpatient addiction treatment. While there is no “cure” for someone with a substance use disorder, recovery is possible. We consider inpatient rehabilitation successful based on improvements to our client’s physical and mental health, employment or educational status, relapse time, safety and legal status and relationships with loved ones.

 

After completing an inpatient treatment program, many patients continue their treatment in an outpatient setting. At our Groveport campus, you can step down to our partial hospitalization program and then to our intensive outpatient program.

Before you leave, your care team builds an aftercare plan with you, with referrals to counseling, support groups and other recovery resources close to home. Staying connected to support after rehab is one of the best ways to protect your recovery.

Attending inpatient treatment will mean leaving your job, at least temporarily, but there are several laws in place that can help protect employees when they attend inpatient rehab. 

Insurance may cover some or all of inpatient rehab costs. Without insurance, The Recovery Village Columbus can work with clients to develop a private pay option. 

Pack no more than two bags. Bring a photo ID, relevant medical records or a list of your health care providers, contact information for family members, a form of payment and up to $200 in cash. Plan for about two weeks of comfortable, season-appropriate clothing, including workout clothes, a sweater or jacket, and sneakers. Phones, tablets and laptops are allowed under our device policy.

Don’t bring alcohol, drugs or paraphernalia (including CBD and THC products), outside food or drinks, refillable vapes, weapons, opened toiletries, supplements or essential oils. Our admissions team can answer questions about anything else.

Yes. Family members can visit on scheduled dates once your therapist approves the visit and you’ve completed a family session. Families can also join our weekly family recovery support sessions, virtually or in person.

Yes. Co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and PTSD are treated alongside addiction at every level of care. The Recovery Village Columbus also offers residential mental health treatment for adults whose primary need is a mental health condition.

More About Residential Treatment Programs

What Residential Treatment Includes

Residential treatment at The Recovery Village Columbus combines daily therapy with 24-hour medical support. Your plan is built around your substance use, your physical health and any co-occurring mental health conditions. It typically includes:

  • Individual therapy with a licensed therapist, using approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT). EMDR is available when it’s clinically appropriate.
  • Daily group therapy focused on relapse prevention, coping skills, managing cravings and building a recovery plan.
  • Medical and psychiatric care, including medication management for co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety and PTSD.
  • Medication-assisted treatment for opioid or alcohol use disorder when it’s medically appropriate.
  • Family involvement, including weekly family recovery support sessions held virtually or in person.
  • Peer support and recreation, including 12-step and SMART Recovery groups and art therapy.

A Typical Day in Residential Rehab

Days in residential treatment follow a predictable structure, which gives your body and mind a chance to reset. A typical day includes meals from our on-site cafeteria, several therapy groups, one-on-one sessions with your therapist during the week, and time for exercise, recreation and recovery meetings. Your schedule is full but not overwhelming, and your care team adjusts it as you progress.

How Long Does Inpatient Rehab Last?

Most residential stays at The Recovery Village Columbus last 28 to 30 days after medical detox, which usually takes seven to ten days. Many people then step down to partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care, for a total of about 50 to 60 days across all levels of care. Your length of stay depends on your clinical needs and your insurance coverage, and your team reviews your progress throughout treatment.

From Detox to Residential to Outpatient Care

All of our levels of care are on one campus, so you can move from one to the next without a gap in treatment:

  1. Medical detox: 24/7 medically supervised withdrawal.
  2. Residential treatment: live on site and focus fully on recovery.
  3. Partial hospitalization (PHP): a full day of treatment, most days of the week.
  4. Intensive outpatient (IOP): several hours of therapy each week, on site or through telehealth, while you live at home.

Before you leave, your team builds a discharge and aftercare plan with you, including referrals for ongoing therapy and recovery support close to home.
