The Benefits of Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient rehab centers offer many benefits for those that choose this type of treatment. These include:
Focus and Commitment
When someone decides to stop using drugs or alcohol, being focused and committed to treatment is vital for success. An inpatient program removes exterior stresses, like work and family life, that may inhibit a person from fully focusing on his or her recovery.
24-Hour Care
At an inpatient facility, patients receive 24-hour care as they go through recovery. During detox, patients are fully monitored by professionals who specialize in handling withdrawal and can help them should any emotional or medical issues arise. Once detox is completed, patients still have access to 24-hour care. Should a person have a difficult time in the middle of the night, a counselor will be available to provide assistance to get them through the rough patch.
Sense of Community
Many people find it difficult when they feel like nobody else understands them or when they are alone as they fight their addiction. At an inpatient rehab center, there’s a sense of community. Patients feel like they belong and can receive the support and strength they need to push through and overcome their addiction.
Faster Rate of Recovery
People who attend an inpatient rehab center may have a faster recovery rate. This is due to factors like no access to drugs or alcohol and being more focused on their journey.
Greater Long-Term Success
Inpatient rehab centers have been found to provide greater long-term success. Not only do the therapies and treatments that patients receive help them to understand better and therefore overcome their addiction, but before leaving treatment, they receive post-treatment care. Patients receive invaluable tools to help them remain on track with their sobriety as they return to the ‘outside’ world. Recommendations for outpatient treatment programs and sober living facilities, as well as tips and strategies to effectively handle triggers, are all a part of post-treatment care and allow for greater long-term success.
