Inpatient Rehab in NYC

Inpatient rehab — also called residential treatment — is the most intensive level of non-hospital addiction care. You live at the facility for the duration of the program, typically 21 to 60 days, and receive 24-hour medical and clinical support. This level of care is appropriate when someone needs to step fully out of their daily environment to stabilize, work through trauma, and build a recovery foundation.

Most patients begin inpatient after completing medical detox. Some come directly from a hospital, a jail, or an intervention.

Our daily structure blends individual therapy, group therapy, medical check-ins, psychoeducation, family sessions, and time for reflection and rest. Mornings typically begin with medication, breakfast, and a community check-in. Mid-morning is group therapy (process groups, trauma-informed groups, relapse prevention). Afternoons are individual therapy, psychoeducation, and experiential activities. Evenings include 12-step meetings, family contact, and quiet time.

Structure is a feature, not a bug. For people whose lives have been consumed by substance use, the predictability and containment of inpatient care is often the first relief they've felt in a long time.

• People with moderate-to-severe substance use disorder
• People with unstable home environments (active using partners, high trigger exposure)
• People with multiple prior treatment attempts
• People with significant co-occurring mental health conditions
• People recovering from overdose or medical complications
• Professionals who need to step fully out of work to recover

Most commercial insurance plans cover inpatient rehab under mental health parity law. The actual length of authorized stay depends on clinical documentation, medical necessity criteria, and your specific plan.
