Inpatient Care

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Inpatient Care
Short-Term Inpatient Care
Two types of care could be suitable for your loved one. Short-term care is hospital-based and may range from a few days to a week or a month, depending on your needs. It occurs in a hospital setting where your loved one will have the structure and stress-free environment needed for recovery. Short-term care is a wonderful option for people who also suffer from substance abuse disorders. It gives them a safe place to detox while getting proper medical care from doctors specializing in mental health care.
Long-Term Inpatient Care
Long-term care differs in that it is community-based. People in long-term care may socialize with others in the facility while getting the help they need, and they receive one-on-one care in a safe environment. Safety and reassurance for your loved one are essential aspects of their mental health care. In a long-term facility, people learn skills to cope with their mental health over an extended period, typically anywhere from 60 or 90 days to 12 or 18 months. Long-term care is necessary for some patients depending on their particular case.
How Long Will Inpatient Mental Health Treatment Last?
When talking about how long inpatient mental care will last, please understand that it depends on the individual and their needs. Some people can come into inpatient care and only need to be there for a few days, while others need extended care. Your loved one’s doctor will help to decide whether short-term or long-term care is the right option.
