What is Inpatient Addiction Treatment in Pennsylvania Like?

Often times, the first emotions that come to mind when an individual is faced with inpatient treatment is fear. Fear of what will happen. Fear of what treatment will be like. Fear of whether they will hurt during detox and withdrawal. Fear of whether they can afford treatment or not…no matter what YOUR fear is, we can help you find the supportive care you need to get well.

Here’s a look at what you can expect in residential rehab in Pennsylvania:

  • Around-the-clock treatment in a medically supervised facility that cares about YOUR comfort.
  • Supervised care that is aimed at helping you cope with emotions, physical trauma, abuse and other underlying factors that may have contributed to your addiction.
  • Assessment and intake which aids the caseworker and treatment provider with defining a healing solution for your recovery.
  • Medication, meals, living quarters and all other necessary arrangements for healthy living while you are in the care of the rehab program.
  • Quality counseling, therapy, behavioral intervention and guidance to assist you in remaining focused on your recovery.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Rehab in PA

Pennsylvania is most prone to opioid abuse—maybe worse than 75% of the nation. As such, inpatient rehab in PA is the ideal first choice for MOST people who are seeking addiction treatment in the area. Here’s a quick look at the differences between inpatient and outpatient rehab centers.

You can expect the following in Inpatient rehab:

  • To live at the facility.
  • To receive medical care.
  • To receive counseling and therapy.
  • To receive meals and housing.
  • To be monitored around-the-clock.

You can expect the following in outpatient rehab:

  • Scheduled treatment on your terms or when your counselor is available.
  • You live at home during the recovery process.
  • You may receive random drug or alcohol screenings.
  • You are expected to continue with your treatment activities while at home.

Ideally, you’ll begin with treatment in a residential rehab program that is followed by the help of an outpatient program. This provides you the greatest chance for long-term recovery and healing from a substance use disorder.

How Long Does Inpatient Drug or Alcohol Rehab Take?

The first question just about any addict that considers inpatient rehab will ask is “How long?” Unfortunately, there is no set-in-stone, or one-size-fits-all approach to recovery that will work for everyone. As such, it’s important that you NEVER compare your recovery to the next person and ALWAYS focus 100% on what works for YOU in treatment.

Here are some general guidelines on treatment times:

  • Most people will require at least 30 days of inpatient rehab before they transition into outpatient care.
  • The total amount of counseling and therapy required to change a negative behavior is AT LEAST 90 days.
  • Detox is a separate phase of treatment, so if you first spend 7 or 10 days in detox, you should THEN spend 30 days or more in residential care.
  • Certain addictions, including alcoholism or addiction to benzos, may require extended or long-term rehabilitation which takes 120 days or more of strict care.

How Can I Pay for Drug or Alcohol Rehab in Pennsylvania?

Nothing is cheap anymore is it? Healthcare especially is expensive throughout the United States, and you must look at addiction treatment as just a subset form of healthcare. As such, Pennsylvania inpatient rehab centers can be rather expensive—but this doesn’t mean they are all out of reach for you even if you have a limited or strict budget to work with. Here are some ways that you can offset treatment costs or even get treatment for free in some cases:

  • Healthcare insurance including marketplace insurance coverage may pay for up to 80% or more of a rehab program.
  • Sliding fee programs that work with you to provide addiction treatment that you pay for based on your income.
  • Free programs that are operated by religious organizations, charity or the government.
  • Loans from healthcare programs, credit cards, the rehab center itself or friends and family.

If you look at the cost of your addiction—in terms of monetary costs, relationship costs, legal troubles, health costs, emotional upheaval and everything else that combines to make addiction to difficult to cope with, treatment suddenly seems to be more affordable and realistic.
