Residential Treatment Prepares You for Long-Term Recovery
Entering inpatient or residential treatment is an opportunity for you to build something new. It is a comprehensive form of care for people struggling with substance abuse or co-occurring mental health disorders. As such, it provides a high level of structure and care, with individualized daily schedules for patients residing in the treatment facilities.
Residential addiction treatment allows you to build new, healthy patterns by removing you from your old environment. In addition, the high level of structure and round-the-clock care is optimized through a combination of treatments, such as behavioral health services and mental health treatment.

Our location is quiet and peaceful, helping you to feel safe and comfortable as you embark on your recovery journey. In our residential treatment programs, you’ll reside full-time at our world-class facility and receive round-the-clock support and supervision from our expert clinical team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inpatient Substance Abuse Treatment
How will I know which level of care is right for me?
Determining the appropriate level of care for addressing substance use disorder is a crucial step on the path to recovery. At Wellbridge, this decision is made collaboratively with our experienced treatment team, who will thoroughly assess your individual needs and treatment goals.
During your initial evaluation, our team will gather information about the severity of your substance use, any co-occurring mental health conditions, your medical and healthcare history, your social support system, and previous treatment experiences. This comprehensive assessment helps us better understand your unique situation and tailor our recommendations accordingly.
Based on the assessment findings, we will work together to determine the most appropriate level of care for your specific needs. This may involve recommending residential treatment if you require a higher level of support and supervision due to the intensity of your substance use disorder or the presence of complex medical or psychological issues. However, this may also involve recommending an intensive outpatient program through a referral.
Throughout this process, our team will provide personalized guidance and support, answer any questions you may have, and empower you to make informed decisions about your treatment. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the level of care that best meets your needs and maximizes your chances of achieving lasting recovery and overall well-being.

To further integrate family members into the treatment process, Wellbridge offers a dedicated Family Program that engages your crucial support circle as needed and incorporates psychoeducational material for family members.

How is medical detoxification managed in residential treatment?
Medical detoxification in residential treatment involves the supervised withdrawal from substances under the care of medical professionals. Staff members closely monitor individuals for withdrawal symptoms and provide medications, if necessary, to alleviate discomfort and ensure safety during the detox process. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available through medical detox as a method of withdrawal management. Our medication management and medical detox protocols are tailored to the individual’s substance use history, medical needs, and overall health.
Is residential treatment the same as rehab?
Residential treatment and rehab, particularly inpatient rehab, are frequently seen as the same when referring to staying at a facility for recovering from addiction. However, residential treatment usually lasts longer, offers a less clinical, more homely atmosphere, and emphasizes behavioral therapy, while inpatient rehab is of shorter duration and more medically intensive.
What are the benefits of residential substance use treatment compared to outpatient programs?
Residential substance use treatment offers a higher level of structure and support when compared to outpatient programs. This is ideal if you are struggling with severe addiction symptoms and require supervision and support 24-7. However, residential treatment is also effective because it is an environment designed to support change and growth. Residential treatment offers support groups and treatment protocols that help you break out of familiar habits and rebuild in a manner consistent with your long-term recovery goals.
Does insurance cover the cost of residential treatment?
Insurance often helps cover the cost of residential treatment. At Wellbridge, we work with most insurance companies and are happy to help you understand your coverage options.
