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 this classification, 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 a live-in program that offers 24/7 support, supervision, and structure. At RCA Lighthouse, this level of care is ideal for individuals who:
    • Have just completed detox and need continued stabilization
    • Are dealing with severe addiction or dual diagnosis
    • Have relapsed and require immersive care
    • Need separation from triggers or high-risk environments
    • Want to develop a strong recovery foundation before transitioning home

The goal of inpatient care is to help patients gain insight into their addiction, learn healthy coping skills, and prepare to re-engage with life in a new, sober way.
