Inpatient mental health rehab can help individuals struggling with mental health disorders reset their mind and form new healthy habits for improved mental health. Inpatient rehab takes place in a residential setting where the patient lives at the facility full-time for several weeks, ensuring they are in a stable, supportive environment focused on healing.
Inpatient mental health care can provide a range of benefits to people struggling with a variety of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. These benefits include but are not limited to intensive therapy, structured programming, therapeutic tools to handle triggers, a sense of community with their peers, and focused medical and nutritional support.
Intensive Therapy
Inpatient mental health care provides patients with intensive therapy, including different types of individual, group, family and recreational therapies. Individual and group therapy sessions occur throughout the day on a regular schedule, rounded out with recreational time to promote healthier habits.
Individual psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a very common type of therapy where patients meet one-on-one with a therapist to address their symptoms.

Handling Triggers
Individuals struggling with mental health disorders commonly develop triggers that set off their symptoms and cause them mental and emotional pain. In inpatient mental health rehab, patients learn how to identify and handle their triggers in therapy.
At The Recovery Village, we offer many types of individual therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy that helps patients change the way they perceive and think about their triggers. CBT can be used to help manage triggers related to many mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In these therapy sessions, individuals learn how to practice mindfulness to manage their triggers. Mindful practice allows patients to learn how to recognize the thought and dismiss it, often using breathwork to help the feeling pass and prevent symptoms.
Sense of Community
It’s common for loved ones struggling with mental health disorders to feel alone and misunderstood. In inpatient mental health rehab, patients participate in group therapy that can help them build their support system and feel like they belong. Common types of group therapies include:
- Dynamic group therapy
- Interpersonal process groups
- Skills development groups
- Group teletherapy
In group therapy, individuals:
- Get to know other group members
- Begin to understand themselves and what others are going through
- Build self-awareness
- Develop social skills
- Foster personal growth
- Support other members
When patients receive inpatient mental health rehab, they share space with peers who are experiencing similar mental health challenges. This can help individuals form supportive relationships with others, building their sense of community.
Structured Programming
Inpatient mental health programs are a structured environment where they have daily schedules. This helps keep patients on a routine and build a healthy way of life. Patients have set times to start their day, have meals, take medication, attend therapy sessions, meet with medical providers and case managers, and enjoy free time.
At The Recovery Village facilities, our patients have access to a variety of recreational amenities such as yoga, art, lounges and sports activities. Recreational therapy is an important component of inpatient mental health care because it can help individuals reduce stress, exercise the body and build new hobbies for their long-term recovery.
Focused Medical and Nutritional Support
Inpatient mental health care involves strong medical and nutritional support for patients. Patients have regular check-ins with the onsite medical team, tackling their physical health alongside their mental health needs.
It’s common for Individuals struggling with their mental health to also struggle with maintaining healthy eating habits. Nutritious meals and snacks options are available in the structured programming of inpatient mental health care, including options for vegetarian, vegan and allergy-free diets. This helps patients form new healthy eating habits and ensures they maintain their energy during their recovery journey.
