Redwood Wellness CenterChoosing inpatient rehab means choosing yourself. It means stepping away from the chaos and into a space designed entirely for your healing—a place where every hour of the day supports your recovery, where care is constant, and where you're surrounded by people who understand the journey you're on.
Our inpatient program offers comprehensive residential treatment that addresses addiction at its roots. With round-the-clock medical supervision, evidence-based therapy, and a structured environment free from triggers, you'll have everything you need to break free from substance dependence and build the foundation for lasting change.
What Inpatient Rehab Involves
Inpatient rehab is a residential treatment program where you live on-site for the duration of your care, typically ranging from 28 to 90 days depending on your needs. From the moment you arrive, you're in a structured, supportive environment where your only job is to focus on getting well. This means 24-hour access to medical staff, daily individual and group therapy sessions, holistic wellness activities, and a community of peers who are walking the same path.
Your days follow a therapeutic rhythm—morning wellness practices, therapy sessions that dig deep into the patterns behind your addiction, educational groups that rebuild your understanding of recovery, and evening reflection time. Medical supervision ensures safe detoxification when needed, medication management addresses co-occurring mental health conditions, and our clinical team monitors your progress daily. You'll work with therapists to uncover underlying trauma, develop coping strategies, and practice new ways of being before returning to daily life. Everything from meals to sleep schedules supports your nervous system's return to balance.
Benefits of Residential Treatment
Complete immersion
Removing yourself from triggering environments and relationships allows your brain and body to heal without distraction or temptation.
Medical safety
Round-the-clock medical supervision ensures withdrawal is managed safely and any complications are addressed immediately.
Intensive therapeutic work
Multiple therapy sessions per day accelerate progress that might take months in outpatient settings, addressing root causes not just symptoms.
Peer community
Living alongside others in recovery creates powerful connections, breaks isolation, and shows you that healing is possible.
Structure and routine
A predictable daily schedule rebuilds your sense of stability and gives your nervous system the consistency it needs to regulate.
Time to transform
Weeks of focused recovery work allow you to develop new neural pathways, practice healthy habits until they stick, and genuinely become someone new.
The Inpatient Treatment Process
- Assessment and admission You'll meet with our clinical team for a comprehensive evaluation of your physical health, substance use history, mental health, and personal goals. We create your individualized treatment plan and help you settle into your new environment with compassion.
- Stabilization and detox If needed, medically supervised detoxification ensures your body safely processes substances while our staff manages withdrawal symptoms. You're monitored constantly and given medication and support to stay as comfortable as possible during this vulnerable phase.
- Active treatment You engage in daily individual therapy, group sessions, experiential therapies, and wellness practices. This is where the deep work happens—processing trauma, learning new coping skills, understanding your triggers, and rebuilding your relationship with yourself and others.
- Transition planning As your program nears completion, we work with you to create a robust aftercare plan including outpatient therapy, support groups, sober living arrangements, and relapse prevention strategies that will sustain your recovery after you leave our care.
Who Benefits from Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient treatment is for anyone whose addiction has reached a point where outpatient support isn't enough. You might need this level of care if you've tried to quit on your own repeatedly without success, if your home environment makes sobriety nearly impossible, if you're facing severe withdrawal symptoms that require medical monitoring, or if you're dealing with co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction. It's for people who need distance from their daily triggers and the gift of time to heal.
This program serves those ready to make recovery their full-time commitment for a season. Whether you're struggling with alcohol, opioids, stimulants, or multiple substances, whether this is your first treatment experience or you're returning after relapse, inpatient care offers the intensive support necessary to interrupt the cycle and begin again. If your substance use has compromised your physical health, relationships, work, or sense of self—and you're willing to step away from life as you know it to save your life—residential treatment provides the container for transformation.
Questions we hear often
How long does inpatient rehab typically last?
Most inpatient programs run from 28 to 90 days, with 30 days being the most common starting point. The ideal length depends on the severity of your addiction, your physical and mental health needs, and how quickly you progress through treatment. Longer stays often lead to better long-term outcomes because they give you more time to practice new skills before facing real-world triggers.
Can I have contact with family during residential treatment?
Yes, though contact is typically structured to support your recovery. Most programs include designated times for phone calls and visits, and many incorporate family therapy sessions where loved ones participate in your healing process. Early in treatment, we may recommend limited contact so you can focus entirely on yourself, with gradually increasing connection as you stabilize.
What happens after I complete the inpatient program?
Recovery doesn't end when residential treatment does—it's just beginning. We'll work with you to create a comprehensive aftercare plan that might include outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient programs, sober living housing, support group involvement, and ongoing medical care. Your transition plan is customized to give you the structure and support you need to maintain momentum in your everyday environment.
Will I be able to work or go to school during inpatient treatment?
No, inpatient rehab requires you to pause external responsibilities and live on-site full-time. This complete immersion is what makes the program effective—you need to step away from normal life to truly heal. Many people work with employers or schools to arrange medical leave, and we can provide documentation to support those conversations when appropriate.
