What Is Inpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab?

River Oaks rehab facility near Tampa

 or residential rehab is a form of addiction treatment that requires patients to stay at the facility 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.1 While the ideal course of care varies greatly between individuals, many patients benefit from the intensive, structured environment afforded by an inpatient program. Patients will undergo various forms of counseling to treat their substance use disorders.

Upon admission at our inpatient addiction treatment facility near Tampa, addiction specialists examine each person and work with case managers to outline an individual path to recovery from substance use disorders. Our inpatient rehab facility near Tampa also offers specialized treatment plans such as:

Many participants start inpatient rehab with a medical detox program, which allows them to rid their systems of any substance(s) safely and as comfortably as possible.2 While medical detox is important, it simply helps someone break their physiological dependence to a substance, but doesn’t treat the psychological and social aspects of addiction. Continued treatment and counseling can help lay the foundation for lasting recovery.3

In the rehabilitation phase of treatment, participants become motivated and invested in their own recovery, learn to recognize and avoid situations that may lead to drug or alcohol use, and repair unhealthy thought and behavioral patterns.4, 5 This is mostly done through a combination of evidence-based approaches, , and peer support.4, 6

River Oaks in Riverview, FL utilizes the following types of addiction therapy:

  • Motivational interviewing.
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
  • Family therapy.
  • And more.

Our inpatient rehab facility also offers several alternative holistic addiction treatments, including:

  • Recovery-oriented challenge therapy (ROCT).
  • Expressive arts and music therapy.
  • Wellness groups.

Addiction medications are also an important part of rehab for many people that struggle with addiction to certain substances like alcohol, heroin, and prescription opioids. Pharmacotherapy can ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, allowing patients to focus during rehab and function normally in daily life. Some patients may continue taking medications for months or even years after formal treatment ends.7

How Long Do You Stay in Inpatient Addiction Rehab?

The length of residential rehab varies from short-term medical detox to month-long rehab programs or 2-3 months of hybrid inpatient and outpatient rehab. Everyone in addiction treatment has different individual needs, which affect the recommended setting or program, duration, and combination of therapies and medications.3, 4, 7 Specialists at our Riverview, FL inpatient rehab facility will help determine the ideal length of treatment for every person that gets admitted.

River Oaks adheres to the 90-day brand promise guaranteed by all American Addiction Centers (AAC) facilities. If you complete 90 consecutive days of treatment (in any level of care or combination of treatment settings) and later suffer a relapse, you may qualify for an additional 30 days of treatment for free at an AAC facility.

What Happens After the Inpatient Portion of Addiction Treatment?

Our drug and alcohol rehab facility near Tampa has multiple levels of outpatient rehab care that vary in intensity. Outpatient programs can work either in lieu of inpatient care or as supplemental treatment once someone finishes a residential stay.

Recovery is a process that requires continued effort.8 Following inpatient treatment, a person might benefit from entering outpatient treatment or joining an aftercare program. River Oaks offers the following forms of outpatient addiction treatment:

  • Partial hospitalization programs. In a partial hospitalization program (PHP), participants attend treatment for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Sometimes called “day treatment,” a PHP utilizes many of the same forms of therapy and peer support used in inpatient care.
  • Intensive outpatient rehab programs. Sessions in intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) are conducted at least 3 days a week for 3 hours per day. At River Oaks, we also offer a virtual community IOP program. Sessions are held online Monday through Friday from 5 p.m.–8 p.m. (To learn more about telehealth addiction treatment at our facility, call us at .)

River Oaks has a robust rehab aftercare planning program that connects patients to community programs and support groups, and provides tools to stay in contact with fellow River Oaks alumni. As people adjust to life outside rehab, case managers also reach out to acknowledge various milestones through the Outcomes Recovery program and help facilitate re-entry into treatment if necessary.

AAC also has other rehab facilities in Florida and across the United States should you need immediate local support near you.
