How is inpatient rehab different from outpatient care?

In inpatient rehab, you live at the center and have support day and night. In outpatient care, you live at home and come in for scheduled visits. Inpatient is often most suitable when cravings, safety concerns, or mental health symptoms feel too strong to manage on your own.

How long will I stay in inpatient treatment?

Your stay depends on your needs, progress, and insurance coverage. Many people start with several weeks of inpatient care and then move to a lower level of care with ongoing support.

Do I need to complete detox before coming to Mount Sinai?

We provide comprehensive detox services at our drug treatment center in Georgia, from alcohol to fentanyl detox. When you call, we’ll ask about use, how often, and your health history to suggest a safe path.

Can my family be involved in my treatment?

Yes, when it’s clinically appropriate and with your permission, family can be included through education and support. This helps loved ones understand addiction better and learn how to support your recovery healthily.

Do you treat mental health and addiction at the same time?

Yes. Mount Sinai provides dual diagnosis care for co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use.

What happens when I leave inpatient rehab?

Before you leave, your team works with you to build a plan for what comes next. This may include step-down programs, outpatient therapy, support groups, and alumni resources so you’re not going back to everyday life without support.

What Is Inpatient Addiction Treatment?

Inpatient addiction treatment, also known as residential rehab, means you live at the treatment center while receiving care.

You stay in a safe, substance-free environment where your focus is recovery. Each day includes therapy, medical support, and structured activities that help you build healthy routines.

This level of care is often recommended after medical detox or when you need more support than outpatient treatment can provide.

Mount Sinai changed my life for the better. I was in a spot that I couldn’t find my way out of and this place gave my life a new meaning. I’m beyond grateful that I found MS. Everyone who was working there, showed great empathy and kindness, especially Marshall. I could’t have asked for a better experience
