“The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”
- John Maxwell
Adjusting to a healthier routine can be challenging after years of navigating substance use and mental health disorders, yet recovery through treatment occurs daily. In 2021, 1,592,000 Ohioans received treatment for a substance use disorder, and 1,887,000 sought treatment for mental health. While the path to recovery can look different for each individual, many people can safely develop their new, healthier routines through inpatient treatment.
At SUN Behavioral Health Columbus, our inpatient treatment program can provide you with the necessary tools and guidance to form routines that will be the foundation for your recovery journey.
Feeling overwhelmed and unstable is a familiar experience with substance use and mental health disorders. This primarily occurs during the initial recovery stages. Intense cravings and fears of a return to use, of harming themselves, or harming others can persist throughout their recovery journey.
When a person is no longer able to live a life they enjoy, if there’s always fear involved when thinking of the future, seeking healing helps. Inpatient treatment stabilizes someone and gives them the skills and support necessary to transition into a healthier life.
At SUN Behavioral Health Columbus, we offer inpatient treatment for substance use and mental health disorders. It is available for children, adolescents, and adults.
This level of care requires you to live at our facility, as we provide 24/7 care that will set the foundation for your recovery. You will learn skills to manage challenging situations and form a support system to lean on. By attending our inpatient treatment, you will find stability, skills, and connections that can be used when you return home.
For many, inpatient treatment follows detox, but people can also attend inpatient treatment for substance use disorders without undergoing detox first. When someone is recovering from this condition, their home environment may include potential triggers or easy access to substances. When they attend an inpatient program, they will stay at the facility in a safe environment that is free from those potential triggers that could hinder their recovery journey.
They will also be surrounded by peers who they can turn to for support, as their peers will understand what they are going through. Professionals will help guide them through their inpatient recovery by teaching them skills and allowing them to practice them in a controlled environment. They can translate these skills into their everyday lives when they leave inpatient treatment.
Remember that people can return to or enter inpatient treatment for the first time during their recovery journey. This process is not always linear, and it is a normal experience for many people.
People with mental health disorders can also benefit from inpatient treatment, which provides the stabilization needed for several conditions. One might be if someone is experiencing suicidal thoughts. When they attend inpatient, they have 24/7 access to a professional medical team who can help them when needed. This also puts them in a neutral environment, away from potential triggers.
For any disorder that makes you feel unsafe or unstable, inpatient treatment is an effective option. Common conditions that benefit from inpatient include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or personality disorders.
Ultimately, everyone’s needs are unique. Our medical team works one-on-one with our patients to ensure that their care program is designed with their best interests in mind.
When you begin your treatment, things to bring to the facility include casual outfits, a list of your medications, and shoes without shoestrings. During your stay at our facility, you will be surrounded by trained and licensed professionals who can assist you with your symptoms and help you recover. You will stay with us throughout your treatment, a timeline that varies from person to person.
During the day, you will participate in various activities and programs to help you develop new habits and interests that can continue after treatment. Your peers will be people who are experiencing situations similar to yours.
Individual and group therapy sessions will be incorporated into your schedule. These sessions will focus on teaching cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT will teach you skills that will allow you to transform unhealthy thoughts into healthy ones. Once you have returned home, these skills can help make things easier and will be further developed during outpatient treatment.
No miraculous combination or level of care will instantly improve your circumstances. Recovery takes time, and the length of stay in an inpatient treatment can vary for every person. Some people may find stabilization within a few days, while others need longer. Your timeline will change depending on your progress and readiness for outpatient care.
It’s common for some individuals to return to inpatient care after starting a less intensive treatment plan. This does not indicate that recovery is impossible or that you have failed. It just means that adjustments are necessary to boost your chances of success.
At the surface level, inpatient and residential treatment may seem the same. They both require someone to stay at a rehab for a designated time. The most significant difference is that residential treatment does not occur in hospitals. It also may not provide consistent medical care during the stay as medical staff might not be consistently available. Instead, it focuses on therapy aspects. This level of care tends to be longer.
Inpatient treatment, however, does take place in a hospital setting. Medical professionals are here 24/7 to assist if any medical concerns are needed during your stay, which is not always available for residential facilities. For someone who requires stabilization due to a mental health or substance use disorder, this can be crucial if they are experiencing a crisis.
Inpatient treatment is not always required for those with substance use or mental health disorders. With our no-cost care assessment, you will work with a counselor to evaluate your symptoms, doctor’s recommendations, and past treatments. They will determine the best treatment option based on your concerns and preferences. You may be recommended to attend partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient if it would benefit you better. These are both outpatient levels of care.
Remember that as things change, a medical professional may determine that you need inpatient treatment at any point in your recovery. It does not mean the initial plans were wrong.
Starting treatment for a mental health or substance use disorder can often feel like a crisis. Your current environment might feel unsafe. It can be full of potential triggers, stresses, or easy access to substances, which can all hinder your recovery journey.
At SUN Behavioral Health Columbus, we understand that crises can occur at any time, making stabilization even more critical. Our 24/7 crisis care allows individuals to begin inpatient treatment whenever needed without waiting for availability. We are open day and night, including weekends and holidays.
