What Is Inpatient Mental Health Rehab?
Inpatient rehab empowers patients to focus entirely on their mental health condition within the supportive environment of our specialized treatment centers. Our subacute treatment program caters to people seeking residential psychiatric care, provided they pose no immediate danger to themselves or others. They’ll engage in a customized treatment plan featuring individual and group therapy sessions led by licensed therapists, medication management, and recreational pursuits such as yoga, art and exercise.
Is Inpatient Rehab Right for Me?
Choosing the best treatment program for your needs is key. Our subacute inpatient mental health program could offer the support and care you’re looking for if:
- You’ve been diagnosed with a mental health condition(s) such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or other mood disorders.

- You’re willing to receive treatment and make changes to improve your condition.
- You may also struggle with substance misuse, like drugs or alcohol, and would benefit from our dual diagnosis care.

- You’re at an immediate risk of harming yourself or others, including a recent suicide attempt or aggressive behaviors outside your condition.
- You have pending legal issues, like being court-ordered to receive treatment.
- You have a physical condition that requires higher medical care, like wounds, drains, tubes, dialysis or another condition requiring active supervision in a hospital.

Our subacute inpatient mental health rehab program offer the highest-quality medical and clinical support for every patient while they live onsite. In addition to our Missouri location, several rehab centers in The Recovery Village network are slated to offer primary mental health care soon, including Orlando Recovery Center and The Recovery Village South Atlanta.
Why Choose Us For Inpatient Treatment?
Because no two clients are exactly the same, The Recovery Village Drug, Alcohol and Mental Health Rehab facilities takes an individualized approach to patient treatment. All of our centers provide evidence-based treatment, counseling for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, personalized treatment plans, and healing amenities and therapy options.
Our inpatient mental health rehab programs include:

- Medication management, if necessary
- Meeting with a psychiatric provider one or more times a week
- Ongoing review of treatment goals
- Individual therapy

All of our inpatient treatment facilities, like The Recovery Village, also offer treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Treating mental health disorders and substance use disorders at the same time, called dual diagnosis treatment, often leads to better outcomes in recovery.
Individual, Family and Group Therapy
Individual counseling, family counseling and group therapy are options included in inpatient rehab services. When selecting an inpatient rehab near you, understanding which types of behavioral health therapies they offer should be a key factor in deciding if it’s right for you.
The most common forms of therapy include:
- Individual therapy involves meeting one-on-one with a therapist to address symptoms.
- Family therapy allows you to bring family or close friends into the treatment to bolster relationships, communication, and understanding.
- Group therapy uses the knowledge and experience of other group members and a professional therapist to accomplish goals.
Recreational Therapy
In inpatient care, you can access a range of recreational amenities to improve your physical and mental health. Amenities vary by facility but may include yoga or sports activities and more.
These options can serve as an escape or a form of therapy depending on your needs. Many of these activities can also reduce stress and improve mood so you can focus on their recovery. Physical activity plays an important role in the recovery process, so there is always room for recreational therapy.
Benefits of Inpatient Treatment
Advantages of inpatient rehab include a structured environment with access to many services, amenities, skill-building opportunities and support from medical and clinical staff.
- Structured programming: Inpatient rehab is a structured environment. Rehab programs have structured days and weeks to help return people to a healthy way of life.
- Forming new healthy habits: One of the real benefits of inpatient rehab is that it helps build new and healthy habits to replace the ineffective ones. When mental health is poor, the daily stressors of life often lead to bad habits that discourage healing. Rehab helps people build new and healthy relationships and activities that bolster their mental health.
- Sense of community: Many people in rehab are going through similar experiences with poor mental health. Group therapy sessions help build support systems that encourage continued recovery.
- Establishing healthy boundaries: Living with a mental health disorder means healthy boundaries may never have been established. Rehab helps to build those boundaries and give a person the tools to maintain them after discharge.
- Nutritional support: People struggling with their mental health often also struggle to maintain adequate nutrition. With a highly nutritious schedule of three meals and snacks, patients have the energy they need to address their mental health needs.
- Medical support: Inpatient rehab provides access to 24-hour medical support. While we cannot accept patients with advanced medical needs requiring hospitalization, those without these needs can feel comfortable knowing medical staff are close by.
How Dual Diagnosis Can Help
Self-medicating a mental health condition with drugs or alcohol may feel like temporary relief, but these substances worsen mental health symptoms over time. If you’re struggling with a mental health disorder and substance abuse, treating both at the same time is vital to a successful recovery.
Many behavioral health facilities can only treat one or the other. Our medical and clinical professionals can treat both, and they’ll help you understand the relationship between your conditions so you feel more prepared to tackle them.
Using Insurance for Mental Health Care
We understand the importance of cost considerations when deciding on an inpatient rehab center. Thankfully, many insurance plans include coverage for behavioral health treatment, helping mitigate expenses. Visit our insurance page to verify your benefits; we work with many major health insurance providers.
Will your insurance cover treatment?
Other factors that influence how much inpatient rehab costs include:
- Whether they go to an in-state or out-of-state facility
- Whether they began in an acute program or transition to further outpatient care
- Whether a person has a private or public (government-funded) health insurance policy
