Residential Inpatient Treatment

Inpatient drug rehab. Residential recovery, 18,000 sq ft campus.

Residential inpatient is the clinical heart of rehab: 24/7 on-site care, psychiatrist-led treatment planning, daily therapy, and a substance-free environment where the body keeps healing and the mind can finally settle into the work. At Pines, residential follows detox with the same team.

The level of care that most substance use disorders actually require.

Residential inpatient is 24/7 on-site treatment in a licensed facility, the ASAM 3.5 level of care. It combines structured psychotherapy, psychiatric care, medication-assisted treatment when indicated, group therapy, family programming, and wellness work. All of it in a substance-free living environment where the clinical work can be sustained day after day without the usual interruptions of daily life.

For moderate to severe substance use disorder, especially with co-occurring mental health conditions, residential treatment produces better outcomes than lower levels of care (NIDA, Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment).

How residential is different from detox, PHP, and IOP.

Detox is a short medical phase that manages physical withdrawal. Residential is the longer clinical phase where recovery gets built. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) are step-downs where patients live outside the facility and attend treatment during the day. Outpatient care is less intensive still. Each level has a role.

Pines offers only two levels in-house: Medical Detox and Residential Inpatient. Step-down planning happens at discharge, so you leave with the next step arranged. Pines does two things, and does them well.

Step down with the same team. No break in continuity.

01

The same team, straight through

Your detox therapist, nursing team, and psychiatrist continue caring for you through residential. No awkward re-intake. No starting over. The chart follows you.

02

Clinical work begins in earnest

Once withdrawal softens, deeper therapy can begin. CBT, DBT, trauma work, family sessions. This is what detox was stabilizing you for.

03

Insurance transitions smoothly

Authorization moves from detox to residential through concurrent review. Your case manager handles the paperwork; you focus on the work.

Structure is the medicine.

Substance use erases structure. Wake times drift, meals disappear, sleep breaks. Residential puts the structure back on purpose, as a clinical intervention. Here is a representative weekday.

Clinical programming runs approximately 25 to 30 hours per week: individual therapy 2 to 3 times weekly, group therapy daily, psycho-education, family programming on weekends, wellness blocks throughout. Balanced with meals, free time, and rest.
