Residential treatment is a form of inpatient treatment involving a stay at a treatment facility. Residential treatment provides a structured, therapeutic environment for individuals struggling with substance use disorder. During their stay, individuals receive comprehensive care and support, including medical supervision, therapy, and access to support groups.

Residential treatment programs can last anywhere from several days to several months and may involve a combination of individual, group, and family therapy and educational and recreational activities. The goal of residential treatment is to provide individuals with a safe, supportive environment where they can focus on their recovery and work on developing the skills and strategies they need to maintain sobriety over the long term.

This type of treatment can be an effective option for individuals who have not been able to achieve stability in outpatient settings or who need a higher level of support and structure as they begin their recovery from addiction.
