Short-Term Inpatient Treatment: Short-Term Inpatient Treatment at Deland Treatment Solutions

When life feels overwhelming and outpatient care is no longer enough, short-term inpatient treatment provides a structured, supportive environment where healing can begin. At Deland Treatment Solutions, our short-term inpatient program is designed to help you or your loved one gain stability, clarity, and momentum toward lasting recovery.

What Is Short-Term Inpatient Treatment?

Short-term inpatient treatment typically involves a residential stay of 7 to 30 days (or a similar duration depending on clinical need). During this period, clients receive 24/7 care, supervision, and a variety of therapeutic services in a safe, controlled environment. It is ideal for those in crisis, detoxification, early relapse, or anyone needing close support to break free from unhealthy patterns.

Why Choose Short-Term Inpatient? Evidence and Advantages

Choosing inpatient care is a serious decision. Here are several evidence-based reasons and advantages that may help you feel confident:

• Studies show that inpatients are more likely to complete treatment than outpatients, with some reports suggesting three times greater completion rates.

• Residential treatment programs often report higher completion rates (around 64.5%) compared to outpatient completion rates (about 51.9%) in large national studies.

• The controlled and supportive environment removes daily triggers, distractions, and influences that can undermine recovery.

• Continuous care allows for quick response to crises, medical issues, or co-occurring mental health challenges.

For many individuals facing acute addiction, co-occurring disorders, or crisis situations, short-term inpatient treatment provides a safer and more focused starting point for recovery.

What You Can Expect in Our Program

At Deland Treatment Solutions, our short-term inpatient program is built around three pillars: safety, stabilization, and skill development.

1. Assessment and Stabilization

• Comprehensive medical and psychiatric evaluation on day one

• Detox support when needed, with appropriate medical oversight

• Medication management for co-occurring disorders

2. Intensive Therapeutic Interventions

• Individual, group, and family therapy

• Evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing 

• Education on relapse prevention, coping strategies, and healthy living

3. Transition and Aftercare Planning

• Discharge planning begins early to ensure continuity

• Referrals to outpatient programs, support groups, or longer-term residential care

• Tools and resources for relapse prevention and self-management

Who Benefits Most?

Short-term inpatient care can be especially beneficial for:

1. Individuals in early relapse or repeated relapse cycles

2. Those requiring stable medical supervision or detox

3. Clients experiencing intense cravings, self-harm thoughts, or psychiatric instability

4. People living in environments that are unsafe or triggering

For example, “Lisa,” a 28-year-old with alcohol dependence and untreated anxiety, found that staying in a structured setting for 14 days allowed her symptoms to stabilize, benefit from therapy, and transition into outpatient follow-up, helping her maintain progress she could not achieve on her own.

Why Deland’s Approach Builds Trust and Authority

• Licensed clinicians and a multidisciplinary team: Psychiatrists, therapists, and medical staff work together to provide integrated care

• Evidence-informed treatment: We use modalities backed by strong clinical research

How Short-Term Inpatient Fits Your Recovery Journey

Short-term inpatient care is not the complete solution for everyone, but it can be a powerful springboard. If you are struggling to stay sober, needing a reset, or finding outpatient care insufficient, inpatient treatment can help you rebuild stability, gain insight, and strengthen coping resources.

Recovery success depends not just on the length of stay, but on engagement, aftercare, and consistency. With strong follow-up, relapse risks can be reduced over time.
