Inpatient mental health treatment means living at a treatment center, typically for two to six weeks, while a psychiatric and clinical team stabilizes a condition that has become too severe, too dangerous or too disruptive to manage with weekly outpatient care: major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, PTSD and other trauma-related conditions, eating disorders and co-occurring substance use. If you are in immediate danger, call or text 988 or call 911.

Our rehab centers help men and women who are struggling with addictions, substance abuse and mental health disorders. We also provide treatment exclusively to International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) members at our Maryland facility, the IAFF Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery.
Inpatient (residential) mental health treatment is a structured, live-in program in which psychiatric providers, nurses, therapists and support staff work with you daily. Unlike a psychiatric hospital stay, which is usually brief and focused on crisis stabilization, residential treatment is designed for the weeks it takes to adjust medication, learn skills, treat trauma and build a plan for life after discharge. Unlike outpatient therapy, it removes you from the stressors of daily life and provides support at 3 a.m. as well as 3 p.m. A typical day includes medication and nursing check-ins, individual therapy, skills and process groups, psychiatric appointments as needed, education about your condition, and structured wellness time, all tied to a written treatment plan that is reviewed regularly.
Consider inpatient care if two or more of these apply: symptoms are getting worse despite treatment; you have thoughts of harming yourself; you cannot manage work, school or relationships; you are using alcohol or drugs to cope; your medications need changes that would be risky to make without monitoring; or the people around you are worried for your safety. Our subacute inpatient mental health program is designed for people who:
You may require a higher level of care than our program can offer if:

Time's up
Because no two clients are the same, treatment starts with a psychiatric and medical evaluation and a plan built around your diagnosis, history and goals. Psychiatric providers manage medication, including adjustments that are safer to make under observation; licensed therapists deliver evidence-based care such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills and trauma-focused therapies including EMDR; and nursing staff are on site 24 hours a day. Admission usually takes one call: a clinical assessment by phone, benefits verification and pre-authorization the same day, and arrival the same or next day at many centers.
All of our inpatient treatment facilities, like The Recovery Village, also offer treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Treating mental health disorders and substance use disorders at the same time, called dual diagnosis treatment, often leads to better outcomes in recovery.
Individual therapy with an assigned therapist, family sessions and daily group therapy are the core of inpatient care. Groups include skills training (CBT and DBT), process groups and trauma groups, alongside psychoeducation about your condition and medications. Family therapy repairs communication and prepares the people at home to support recovery. Where substance use is also present, it is treated in the same plan, including medical detox and medication for opioid or alcohol use disorder when needed.
The most common forms of therapy include:
In inpatient care, you can access a range of recreational amenities to improve your physical and mental health. Amenities vary by facility but may include yoga or sports activities and more.
These options can serve as an escape or a form of therapy depending on your needs. Many of these activities can also reduce stress and improve mood so you can focus on their recovery. Physical activity plays an important role in the recovery process, so there is always room for recreational therapy.
Inpatient care offers 24-hour psychiatric and nursing support, daily therapy and medication management in one place, separation from the stressors that drive symptoms, and time for medications to work under observation. Most stays last two to six weeks, set by clinical progress and insurance review; discharge happens when symptoms are stable, a medication plan is working, safety is established and the next level of care is arranged. Additional advantages include:
Self-medicating a mental health condition with drugs or alcohol may feel like temporary relief, but these substances worsen mental health symptoms over time. If you’re struggling with a mental health disorder and substance abuse, treating both at the same time is vital to a successful recovery.
Many behavioral health facilities can only treat one or the other. Our medical and clinical professionals can treat both, and they’ll help you understand the relationship between your conditions so you feel more prepared to tackle them.
Under the Affordable Care Act and the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial plans, Medicaid and Medicare cover inpatient mental health treatment comparably to medical care when it is medically necessary. Out-of-pocket costs depend on your deductible, copays and network. Our admissions team verifies benefits free of charge, obtains pre-authorization and explains private-pay options before you commit. Verify your insurance online or read about how much rehab costs. Plans we commonly work with include:
Two to six weeks is typical, set by clinical progress and insurance review rather than a fixed schedule. Longer stays are common when medications need time to work, when trauma treatment is central, or when substance use is also being treated.
It’s crucial to stay in treatment for the full duration to ensure lasting recovery, and we strongly encourage you to do so. However, you have the option to leave the facility at any time, even against medical advice.
Yes, If you’ve completed acute mental health care elsewhere and seek further support before transitioning back to the community, our subacute residential treatment program is available to you.
Discharge is a step-down, not an end. Your case manager begins planning on your first day. Most people continue in partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient care, then outpatient therapy and psychiatric follow-up, with a written crisis and relapse-prevention plan and alumni support, so there is no gap between levels of care.
Our dual diagnosis treatment centers can treat both substance use and mental health disorders simultaneously. During the admission process, our medical team will assess your needs and recommend either the substance abuse track found at all facilities or the mental health track at participating locations.
If substance abuse is your primary need, you’ll undergo medical detox and then enter the inpatient rehab program, living with other people recovering from addiction. Your mental health diagnosis will be addressed within those levels of care.
If mental health is the primary concern, you’ll undergo a medical detox for substance use and then receive additional group therapy sessions about addiction while staying in our mental health wing.
Our inpatient programs all accept health insurance. Your plan may cover some or all of the costs of inpatient rehab. If we do not take your insurance, we may refer you to another treatment facility we trust. Private pay options may be available if you do not have insurance coverage.
The law provides safeguards if you need time off from work for behavioral health reasons. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you can take a leave of absence from work and retain your job while seeking mental health treatment from a healthcare provider. However, it’s important to note that not everyone is eligible for FMLA benefits.
Mental health conditions may impact your capacity to care for your children. Although child custody outcomes are not guaranteed, seeking mental health treatment and achieving successful recovery can enhance your chances of retaining custody. Often, parents arrange for a relative to look after their children while they complete their treatment.
