Quick Answer
Inpatient rehab is residential addiction treatment where patients live at the facility 24 hours a day, typically for 30–60 days, receiving daily individual therapy, group sessions, psychiatric care, and structured recovery programming. BetterChoice Treatment Center provides luxury inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Las Vegas in a private estate-style setting. Call (725) 550-5655.
Who Inpatient Rehab Is For
Inpatient (residential) treatment is the right level of care for patients who:
- Need medical detox safely managed for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants
- Have significant co-occurring mental health conditions (anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, ADHD)
- Live in environments that make recovery impossible (active substance use in the home, significant triggers, unsafe relationships)
- Have failed prior outpatient attempts
- Need to fully step out of their daily environment to focus on recovery
- Have severe addictions with significant medical, psychiatric, or social complications
For patients with mild-to-moderate addiction, stable home environments, and strong family support, outpatient (PHP, IOP) may be appropriate. We help every patient find the right level of care.
What Inpatient Rehab Includes at BetterChoice
A complete program typically runs 30–60 days and includes:
- Medical detox if needed — 5–10 days in a private suite with 24/7 nursing
- Daily individual therapy — typically 2–3 sessions per week with a licensed clinician (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC, or psychologist)
- Daily group therapy — process group, skills group, trauma-informed psychoeducation, recovery skills, relapse prevention
- Psychiatric care — on-staff psychiatric prescribers for medication management and dual-diagnosis treatment
- Trauma-focused therapy — EMDR, trauma-focused CBT for the underlying trauma that often sits beneath addiction
- Medication-assisted treatment when appropriate (Suboxone, Vivitrol, Naltrexone, Acamprosate, Disulfiram)
- Family program — structured education sessions, weekly family therapy, communication protocols
- Experiential therapy — yoga, mindfulness, fitness, equine therapy, art therapy, breathwork
- Nutritional rehabilitation — chef-prepared meals, dietitian consultation
- Case management — discharge planning, aftercare coordination, sober living arrangement
- Aftercare and alumni support — outpatient handoff, ongoing connection to recovery community
A Day in Inpatient Rehab
Mornings begin with breakfast in the main house, followed by community check-in and the first group of the day (often process group, recovery skills, or trauma-informed psychoeducation). Mid-mornings are individual therapy sessions, psychiatric appointments, or case management meetings. Lunch in the dining area is followed by an experiential block — yoga, fitness, mindfulness, equine therapy, or breathwork. Afternoons return to clinical work: a second group, family sessions, or specialized programming. Evenings include nutritionally dense dinners, optional meetings, and downtime in the gardens, pool area, or quiet lounges.
The structure is intentional — early-recovery brains do well with predictability — but the setting feels nothing like a hospital. Most patients fall into a rhythm by the end of week one.
Length of Stay — Why 30 Days Is Often Not Enough
Many insurance authorizations approve 30 days initially, but clinical guidelines and outcomes data favor longer stays. The reasons:
- The first 7–10 days are often medical detox
- Weeks 2–3 are typically when patients begin to feel "clear-headed enough" to do real therapy work
- Trauma processing, dual-diagnosis stabilization, and behavior pattern work take time
- The longer a patient stays in a structured environment in early recovery, the better the long-term outcomes data
We typically pursue extensions when clinically warranted, and many patients stay 45–60 days or longer.
After Inpatient Rehab
Discharge planning starts at admission and is continuously updated. By discharge, every patient has:
- A named outpatient provider (PHP, IOP, or OP based on needs)
- A scheduled first outpatient appointment
- Continued psychiatric medications with named prescriber
- Continued MAT if applicable
- Sober living arrangement if home environment is risky
- Named individual therapist for ongoing trauma and dual-diagnosis work
- Specific peer support meetings recommended
- Family follow-up plan
- Crisis plan and alumni line access
Most of our patients use commercial PPO insurance to cover the majority of their stay.
