Inpatient Residential Treatment

What is inpatient drug and alcohol treatment?

Inpatient treatment, sometimes called residential treatment, is the highest level of rehab services for patients who are diagnosed with alcohol addiction or other drug addiction (known medically as substance use disorder). Inpatient rehab programs often include medical detox as well as integrated mental health services.

At Pura Vida Recovery Services, inpatient treatment for substance abuse begins with learning about your specific situation. Our treatment team will evaluate your medical health, mental health and substance use history to design an individualized drug or alcohol treatment plan for you. With your permission, our rehab staff may also talk with your family members and consult with professionals you might already be working with to help address any related challenges you may be facing.

Because addiction is a disease that affects your body, mind, and spirit, we bring a multidisciplinary team of clinicians together to create a holistic healing plan for you. This means that your licensed team members for residential treatment may include:

Physicians

Nurse Practitioners

Psychologists

Licensed marriage and family therapists

Certified addiction counselors

Nutritionists

Wellness and fitness specialists

How does detox work as part of inpatient rehab?

Detox is the first step in helping your brain and body heal from substance abuse. Your detox process will begin with evaluations by our medical doctors and nurse practitioner to determine which, if any, medical interventions are needed.

Drug and alcohol detox involves flushing chemicals from your body that have built up through extended substance use, which can be an uncomfortable experience without the right medical care to help ease discomfort and/or drug cravings. Pura Vida Recovery Services medical staff will work closely with you during detox to evaluate your level of discomfort and provide you with medications, if needed, to address any discomfort or cravings.

During the detox process, you will be medically monitored around-the-clock until medical staff determine you are stable enough to focus on rehab programming and activities at which point you will step down to inpatient treatment.

What happens in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab?

Following detox, you will move into a residential treatment unit where you will meet your treatment peers and participate in rehab services and activities. At Pura Vida Recovery Services treatment centers, inpatient drug rehab activities may include:

Group therapy to address substance use

How do I know if I need residential treatment for substance abuse?

There are a lot of factors you’ll want to consider. For starters, here are three questions to ask yourself:

Am I at high risk of experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms?

Have I had a relapse after getting sober?

Have I already tried a less intensive level of drug or alcohol treatment?

If you answered “Yes” to at least one of the questions above, residential treatment may be for you. Give us a call today to get started at 707.879.8432 or email us at [email protected].

You will also want to consider what’s best for your overall mental health needs. Most patients who come to Pura Vida Recovery Services for inpatient rehab also struggle with a co-occurring mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s really helpful (and most effective in the long-term) to address all of your challenges in an integrated and holistic way during addiction treatment.

Another factor to consider in choosing between an inpatient and outpatient rehab center is whether you have a healthy and supportive home environment where your recovery will be a priority. If you do, outpatient treatment could be a good fit. Otherwise, a residential treatment program can provide you with that essential sense of community and mutual support.

How long is inpatient alcohol rehab?

At Pura Vida Recovery Services, your length of stay in inpatient alcohol or drug rehab will be based on specific clinical milestones. Our clinical team will work with you and your family as well as your insurance provider to come up with the best care plan and timetable for you. It’s helpful to remember that addiction doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a gradual process. Recovery will take time, too.

When you are discharged from inpatient treatment, you will receive recommendations for follow-up care and ongoing recovery support. These are practices and resources to help you strengthen your sobriety over the long-term and reduce the risk of relapse. Like diabetes or hypertension, addiction is a chronic disease. Regaining your health means learning to manage your symptoms, first within the structure of an inpatient rehab program and eventually in your home environment where you are responsible for maintaining your recovery.

How much does inpatient addiction treatment cost?

The cost of inpatient rehab programs depends on the treatment center selected, the level of clinical care recommended, and the length of time in treatment. The amount you pay will also depend on whether you’re able to access insurance benefits to help cover the cost or if you’re paying out-of-pocket. Pura Vida Recovery Services is in-network with most insurance carriers, and most of our clients use their health insurance benefits to help cover treatment costs. Insurance policies and benefits vary greatly, so let us help you navigate your coverage.

How do I start the admissions process for inpatient rehab at Pura Vida Recovery Services?
