It is challenging to confront addiction. It may be very difficult for a person to acknowledge that they have a problem with drugs or alcohol. They might be afraid their family or friends will reject them. They might even be scared that they’ll be an entirely different person after recovery.

What Is Inpatient Addiction Rehab?
Addiction often becomes the center of a person’s life. Inpatient addiction treatment allows a person to focus their full attention on recovery, offering clients a trusted community that can support their healing 24/7. In addition to group and individual therapy, inpatient rehab facilities often provide opportunities for enrichment and connection, including, but not limited to, yoga, music therapy, or book clubs. When appropriate, these treatment programs may also support a client in mending broken relationships with family and friends.
Entering Inpatient Addiction Treatment
In addiction treatment, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care. When someone needs inpatient rehab, the first step is often an assessment of mental and physical health, followed by a determination of what sorts of treatment modalities may best serve the client. Additionally, it may be necessary that the client first undergo a medically supervised detox program. Detox and withdrawal are hard, and without support and supervision at this stage, a client is much more likely to relapse. Following detox (which can often be completed on-site), a client will transition into inpatient treatment.
There are Many Benefits to Inpatient Addiction Treatment
Inpatient rehab may seem daunting. But a dedicated 24/7 program can offer many benefits not available in other settings, including:
- A sense of connection
- Regular routines and structures
- Complete focus on a successful recovery
Connection and Community
The most vital component of an inpatient level of care is community. Addiction is deeply stigmatized, and people living with addiction often feel isolated and small. Inpatient addiction rehab offers a non-judgmental environment for recovery alongside people who understand and can empathize with each other’s struggles. In an inpatient treatment setting, no one has to be alone.
Routine and Structure
A lack of routine can be a stumbling block in recovery, and too much unaccounted-for time may increase the risk of fixating on addiction or can result in cravings for drugs or alcohol. The highly structured environment of an inpatient care program can provide a sense of stability, giving a client a chance to focus more fully on their own recovery. Practice in establishing routines and boundaries will also be a vital part of transitioning out of inpatient care.
Focus and Success
Inpatient addiction treatment programs have proven records of success. This is due in large part to the necessary separation of a client from their everyday life, including from family and friends. While it may seem harsh or cruel from the outside, sequestering a patient in this way allows them a profoundly better chance at a successful detox and subsequent recovery. While inpatient care may not be right for everyone, oftentimes, the “normal” circumstances of a person’s life may put them at risk of relapse if not under 24/7 care. This time to focus on recovery will help a client develop the coping techniques and boundaries they will need to navigate the world and resist their triggers following treatment.
