inpatient rehab

Live-in treatment facility

Inpatient rehab is a residential treatment program where patients live at a facility while receiving intensive therapy for addiction, injury, or illness.

The term most commonly refers to substance abuse treatment—a 28- or 30-day stay is standard—but also covers physical rehabilitation after surgery, stroke, or serious injury: She went to inpatient rehab after the accident.

Distinguished from outpatient programs, where patients return home each day.
