Residential Treatment Program
The second stage of treatment at Swift River is our residential treatment program, which integrates traditional and holistic treatment modalities for a whole-person approach to addiction recovery.
What Is Residential Treatment or Inpatient Therapy?
Residential treatment is a type of treatment program that involves living on-site within an addiction treatment facility to participate in a formal schedule of individual and group-based treatment services. The goal is to remove the patient from a situation of possible crisis and get them into an environment of compassionate care.
At Swift River, each patient’s residential program schedule is individually tailored to best suit their needs and goals for addiction treatment.
Residential treatment programs can vary in length and in the services they provide. At Swift River, our residential program lasts approximately 30 to 60 days, with the last ten days dedicated to a seamless transition into outpatient treatment.

Residential Treatment and Mental Health Services
Countless studies have found that mental health disorders are a common contributing factor to addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse has determined that upwards of 43% of people in treatment for substance use disorders also suffer from a mental health disorder. Thankfully, our experts at Swift River are skilled at identifying your mental health disorders and finding ways to treat them.
People who use drugs and alcohol are also more likely to develop symptoms of mental illness, which may later be diagnosed as a mental health disorder independent of substance use.
Within our residential treatment program, Swift River offers effective therapies and psychiatric services capable of addressing co-occurring mental health problems.
Aftercare Services
After completing your treatment, you will be enrolled in our aftercare services. This typically includes regular calls from our counselors to help gauge your treatment success and progress. During these calls, you can discuss any issues you may be facing and vent out your frustrations as needed. Our graduates often learn they look forward to these calls as a way of checking their own success and motivating themselves to succeed.
We also work hard to help you integrate back into your daily routine by helping you find temporary housing or even work, if necessary. Beyond these services are our educational classes, which help teach you new skills and regain lost ones. Essentially, aftercare sets you up for continued success after leaving our facility.
We’re also here to help set you up with a sobriety group of your choice. There is a wide network of international sobriety organizations that can be used as a resource. We want you happy and healthy and will do whatever is in our power to help you achieve inner peace and tranquility.
