A Different Kind of Inpatient Treatment
Residential Treatment In a Real Home, Not An Institution
Our clients are the most important part of their own recovery. That belief is why we have stayed family owned since 1987, and why our houses hold six residents rather than sixty. You live in a real home with a small group of peers, a full clinical team, and the space to build something that lasts.
Residential treatment is the 24/7 level of care in our continuum. For many people it follows medical detox and leads into step-down care and aftercare and alumni support. You are not handed off between providers. The same organization walks with you the whole way.
WHERE IT FITS
Where Residential Treatment Fits In Your Care
Residential is one level of care, not the whole journey. Knowing where it sits helps you understand what comes before it and what comes after. Every level below is offered by New Dawn, so a change in your care plan does not mean changing providers.
- Medical Detox comes first when your body needs supervised stabilization before therapeutic work can begin.
- Residential Treatment is the 24/7 live-in level where you stay on site with round-the-clock clinical support.
- Luxury Residential at Dolce Vita offers the same clinical program in an elevated setting for clients who want it.
- PHP and Mental Health IOP provides day treatment intensity once 24/7 supervision is no longer clinically necessary.
- Intensive Outpatient Program keeps structured group and individual therapy in place while you return to work or family life.
- Outpatient Services maintains regular clinical contact at the lowest intensity.
- Aftercare and Alumni Support continues for life, with no end date attached to it.
Who It's For
Who Residential Treatment Is Right For
Residential is not automatically the answer for everyone, and we will tell you if a lower level of care fits better. It tends to be the right call when the home environment works against recovery, or when outpatient support has not been enough on its own.
Residential treatment is usually the right fit when:
- Withdrawal needs medical supervision, which is assessed during medical detox before residential begins.
- Previous outpatient or IOP attempts did not hold, and a higher level of structure is warranted.
- A co-occurring mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD is driving or worsening the substance use.
- Home is unstable, unsafe, or full of the people and routines tied to using.
- Daily responsibilities can be stepped away from long enough to focus completely on treatment.

How We Treat
The Therapies Behind Your Treatment Plan
No two treatment plans here look the same. Your plan is assembled from the modalities our clinical team judges will actually work for you, then adjusted as the weeks go on.
- Evidence-based therapies including CBT and dialectical behavior therapy form the clinical backbone of every plan.
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is our primary trauma modality and is often central for clients carrying PTSD or unresolved trauma.
- Experiential therapies such as equine, alpaca-assisted, art, and music therapy reach what talk therapy sometimes cannot.
- Gender-responsive programming follows Dr. Stephanie Covington’s model across our men’s and women’s tracks.
- Conscious Recovery, drawn from TJ Woodward’s work, addresses the spiritual dimension many programs leave out.
- Holistic services including yoga, massage therapy, acupuncture, and life coaching are part of the weekly schedule rather than an add-on.
- Medication-assisted treatment is integrated when clinically indicated, with prescribing managed by our medical staff.
How Long
How Long Is Inpatient Rehab?
All treatment is customized to each client’s journey and level of care. Some people need only a 30-day step into recovery. Others are better served by a longer treatment plan, and we will say so directly when that is the clinical read.
Because a return to use is common in the first six months after treatment, the most important factor in long-term recovery is program completion followed by real aftercare. We provide a lifelong alumni support plan so clients keep access to support and therapy environments that evolve with their needs.
Our guide to 90 days of recovery covers what longer stays actually involve, week by week.
Before You Arrive
What to Bring and What to Leave at Home
Packing is one of the last barriers people hit before admission, and it should not be the thing that stops you. Our intake coordinators go through this list with you on the phone, and anything you forget can be handled after you arrive.
Bring with you:
- Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing for roughly a week, since laundry is available on site.
- A government-issued photo ID and your insurance card.
- Any prescribed medications in their original, labeled pharmacy bottles.
- A written list of important phone numbers and contacts.
- Basic toiletries in sealed, alcohol-free packaging.
- Journals, photos, and small personal comfort items.
Leave at home anything containing alcohol, any substance not prescribed to you, weapons, and valuables you would not want out of your sight. Phone and personal electronics policies vary by house and by phase of treatment, and your intake coordinator will explain exactly how yours works before you arrive.
Admissions Process
How Does the Residential Admissions Process Work?
The most important step is the first one: reach out. New Dawn has a three-step admission process to get clients started quickly.
- Reach out: A trained staff member is available to answer questions in a 100% confidential call.
- Verify insurance and financial commitments: Our intake coordinators verify your benefits free of charge, so you know exactly what is covered, what your potential patient responsibility is, and what your insurance will pay before admission.
- Schedule admission: After verification, clients are scheduled for admission, and within 24 to 48 hours their recovery journey can begin.
The full admissions process page walks through each step in more detail. Clinicians and case managers placing a client can use our professional referrals pathway.
What to Expect
What to Expect at Our Inpatient Rehab
Our focus is patient-centered care. We incorporate trauma-informed and gender-responsive treatment to treat the whole person, not just the addiction. That combination gives clients the tools and confidence to rebuild their lives.

- Recovery management and coping skills development that carries into life after discharge.
- Trauma-informed therapy such as ART.
- A limit of six residents per house, so one-on-one attention from the care team is realistic rather than promised.
- Private and gender-specific housing designed so every client feels safe, supported, and empowered.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
The two terms are used interchangeably by most people, and we use them that way on this page. Both describe a live-in program with 24/7 clinical support. Where a distinction is drawn, "inpatient" tends to describe hospital-based medical care and "residential" describes a home-like clinical setting, which is what we run.
It depends on what you have been using and how your body responds to stopping. If withdrawal needs medical supervision, medical detox comes first and residential follows directly. Our clinical team makes that call during your assessment, not after you arrive.
Stays commonly run 30, 60, or 90 days, and the right length is a clinical decision rather than a scheduling one. Longer programs give more time to practice new skills before independence returns, which is why our One-Year Treatment Guarantee is tied to the 90-day program.
Electronics policies vary by house and by phase of treatment. Most clients have limited access early on, with access expanding as they progress. Your intake coordinator explains exactly how your house handles it before you arrive, so there are no surprises on day one.
We are a preferred provider with Optum, Cigna, Anthem, Blue Shield and Blue Cross, VA, TriWest, TriCare, Aetna, UHC, and Kaiser. Free insurance verification tells you your exact coverage and out-of-pocket responsibility before you commit to admission.
Yes. Dual diagnosis care treats substance use and co-occurring conditions together rather than in sequence, because treating one while ignoring the other rarely holds.
Yes. We run separate men's and women's programs with gender-specific housing, following gender-responsive clinical models. Our article on gender-specific addiction programs explains the clinical reasoning.
Family involvement is part of the clinical program, with family therapy and education sessions scheduled at a pace your treatment team sets. Our resources for families cover what to expect.
