Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'residential' and 'inpatient'?
In New York, 'inpatient' often refers to the medical detox phase or hospital-level care; 'residential' is the structured, therapy-focused stay that follows. Many callers use the terms interchangeably; clinically they are different ASAM levels of care.
Is 28 days really long enough?
For some callers, yes. For callers with severe use, prior relapses, or significant psychiatric comorbidity, the evidence favors longer stays. Placement advisors discuss this candidly on the first call.
