Located on a 500+-acre private and tranquil estate in Earleville, MD, Bracebridge Hall is the ideal place to stabilize, gain clarity, and begin the deep emotional work of recovery.

What Is Inpatient Treatment?

Inpatient treatment is a licensed classification of care where individuals stay onsite to receive consistent medical oversight and therapeutic support. Within inpatient treatment, residential treatment and detox programs represent distinct levels of care:

  • Detox provides medically supervised withdrawal management. Visit our detox page to learn more about this program.
  • Residential treatment is the highest level of care following detox. Patients live onsite and receive structured daily support, including individual therapy, group counseling, family programming, educational workshops, wellness activities, and more. Residential treatment is ideal for: 
    • Individuals stepping down from detox
    • People in need of a high level of structure and supervision
    • Those struggling with co-occurring mental health conditions
    • Anyone ready to focus 100% on recovery, free from outside triggers

During your time in inpatient care, you’ll address the root causes of addiction, learn coping strategies, rebuild confidence, and prepare for life after treatment.

Evidence-Based Treatment That Gets Results

Our inpatient program is grounded in therapies proven to be effective for treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues. These include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and restructuring harmful thought patterns
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Regulating emotions, improving distress tolerance, and enhancing interpersonal skills
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): Empowering patients to identify their reasons for change
  • 12-Step Programming: Introducing the principles of long-term recovery programs like AA or NA
  • Trauma-Informed Care:  Recognizing the role trauma plays in addiction and addressing it with compassion
  • Family Education and Coaching: Addresses codependency and unhealthy family patterns
  • Dual Diagnosis Support: Treats co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD

We meet each patient where they are, creating an individualized care plan aligned with their needs and goals.

Next steps may include:

  • Stepping down from inpatient treatment to Partial Hospitalization (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
