About this program
Inpatient rehab
Inpatient rehab is the highest level of care for drug and alcohol addiction: clients live at the facility while receiving treatment, usually after completing detox. The comprehensive support helps with cravings while the real work happens underneath — addressing the issues driving the addiction, including co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.
Inpatient treatment is especially useful for people new to recovery and for those who tried outpatient or less intensive programs and found them not enough. Our program follows the principles of effective treatment identified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse: individualized treatment plans, multiple behavioral therapies, dual-diagnosis care, and adequate lengths of stay.
Inpatient rehab runs at Ambrosia Treatment Center. A typical day balances an individual therapy session, gender-specific groups, time at the gym, and an outdoor 12-step meeting — intense work with real downtime built in, because processing what comes up in therapy takes breathing room. Weekends slow the pace with yoga, meditation, and outdoor activities.

Advantages of inpatient treatment
24/7 medical care
Withdrawal and early recovery are safer with medical professionals on hand around the clock to manage symptoms and treat anything that arises.
- Dual-diagnosis treatment
Mental health conditions and addiction feed off each other. Therapists address the underlying mental health problems and set up aftercare before discharge.
Distance from triggers
Living at the treatment center removes access to substances and puts real distance between a person and the people, places, and situations tied to using.
- Family involvement
A therapist guides conversations with spouses, parents, and children, working out past conflicts so nothing gets in the way of recovery.
Peer relationships
Treatment brings together people facing similar challenges. Many friendships formed in inpatient rehab continue as peer support long after discharge.
Life skills and new habits
Addiction crowds out the basics — routines, responsibilities, self-care. Inpatient rehab is a full lifestyle reset, with time to understand old thought patterns and practice healthier ones until they stick.
How long inpatient rehab lasts
Most stays run 30 to 90 days, with many programs lasting just over 30. The right length depends on the severity of the addiction and any underlying mental health conditions, and it is set with a counselor during the initial evaluation — not imposed by a calendar.
Four to twelve weeks can sound like a long time, but changing entrenched thoughts and behaviors is not an overnight process. The more time a person puts into recovery, the more durable the results tend to be.
Cost and insurance
Most insurance companies cover inpatient drug and alcohol treatment. What a person pays out of pocket depends on their specific plan — often little to nothing once the policy's deductible is met. Program costs also vary with length of stay and amenities, so the fastest way to a real number is to ask.
It is worth weighing the alternative honestly: maintaining an addiction ultimately costs more than treating it.
Inpatient vs. outpatient — and traveling for treatment
Inpatient rehab means living at the facility; outpatient treatment happens during the day, requires fewer hours, and lets clients return home after sessions — some keep working or attending school. Inpatient care is deeper and more comprehensive, and for many people the structure of outpatient care alone is not enough.
Choosing a program away from home can also be an advantage rather than a compromise. Distance from the people, places, and things associated with using is one of the best protections in early recovery, and a new setting helps mark the start of a genuine change.
