What is Inpatient Treatment?

Inpatient care, also called residential treatment, is a type of rehab program where patients stay at the facility round-the-clock and 24-hour care is provided (National Institute on Drug Abuse). Certain programs provide more intensive care than others––as some individuals require hospitalization for methamphetamine abuse––but in general, inpatient treatment is more intensive than outpatient care. For a person suffering from methamphetamine addiction, one of the most devastating addiction syndromes a person can experience, inpatient care is often a beneficial choice.

What Are the Benefits of Inpatient Care for Methamphetamine Addicts?

Holistic treatment options are offered in most inpatient programs.

Inpatient care offers a number of benefits, including 24-hour access to medical care, a dedicated staff of doctors, nurses, and counselors, and a controlled environment that does not allow the patient to succumb to temptation during their early recovery. However, this program could also be especially beneficial to your needs as a methamphetamine addict, depending on your specific situation.

• Someone with a severe addiction to methamphetamine could benefit greatly from attending inpatient rehab. As stated previously, they will not be able to act on the temptation to use, as they will be in a controlled environment, and they will be able to spend time reflecting on their addiction instead of trying to attend to their daily life at the same time.
• In most inpatient centers, medical care will be provided for any physical issues patients are suffering from. Methamphetamine can cause a number of physical problems, including cracked and broken teeth, a weakened immune system, brain damage, heart problems, and many others, and it is often safer for someone with these issues to attend inpatient treatment.
• According to a study from the medical journal Psychiatric Quarterly, patients suffering from a comorbid mental disorder, in addition to addiction, will often fare much better in inpatient treatment. As these issues are common among methamphetamine addicts (NIDA), this is definitely beneficial.
• People who do not have the kind of support they require at home in order to put an end to their substance abuse can often find it in an inpatient center. This can help create a stronger recovery and allow the patient to receive the support that is so crucial to a life after substance abuse (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration).
• Many inpatient centers provide patients with more options than most outpatient centers. This is because these programs often have more funds, giving them the ability to provide additional and holistic treatment options. However, even if you do not have the money to attend a more expensive inpatient program, cheaper and even free inpatient centers do exist (SAMHSA).

Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment?

Do I Need This Option for My Recovery?

It is important to be aware of these benefits, but determining whether or not you truly need inpatient care for your recovery is also a necessary part of choosing your rehab program. If you

• Have a severe addiction to methamphetamine
• Are suffering from serious medical or psychological effects of your drug abuse
• Have any co-occurring mental disorders
• Lack a strong support system at home
• Do not have a safe home life or live in an environment that is conducive to your recovery

then inpatient care is likely the best option for your needs. However, some individuals do still choose inpatient treatment even if they do not absolutely need it. What’s most important is that you choose the treatment option that is right for your needs by matching the setting and program to your specific situation (NIDA).
