What Is Residential Treatment Like in Indiana?
Residential treatment centers, or rehab facilities, offer intensive treatment and 24-hour care for residents who live onsite for the duration of the program. Some facilities also offer day-treatment programs where participants return home each night or on the weekends, and outpatient services may be provided to former residents as a follow-up service.
Though rehab is a term commonly used to refer to drug and alcohol addiction treatment, residential treatment programs exist for a variety of behavioral and mental health conditions, from obsessions and compulsions to bipolar. Program lengths range from just a few days to several weeks or even months. Even short-term residential treatment programs can have powerful positive effects on the long-term mental health of residents. Participants in intensive eight-day residential programs for tobacco addiction, for example, show much better long term improvement than individuals who utilized outpatient treatment alone.
Each treatment program is different, though they commonly offer the following basic services:
- Peer support from fellow residents, as well as through group therapy or support group sessions.
- One-on-one therapy sessions, typically conducted on a weekly basis.
- Enrichment activities that help residents to relax or develop new skills and self-esteem.
- Medical supervision of any detoxification programs for addiction recovery, and assistance with medication management and general physical health.
