What Is Residential Drug Rehab?
Residential drug rehab is an intensive, live-in addiction treatment program that provides continuous medical supervision, therapy, and recovery support in a structured environment. Unlike outpatient care, residential treatment removes individuals from daily stressors, triggers, and access to substances.
At STEPS Detox, residential drug rehab in Louisiana is designed for people who need comprehensive support during early recovery. Our 30-day, on-site programs in Lafayette and Lake Charles combine medical detox, evidence-based therapy, and personalized care planning under one roof. Clients receive consistent support from licensed professionals while building the skills and stability needed for long-term sobriety.
This level of care is often recommended for individuals with moderate to severe substance use disorders, relapse history, or co-occurring mental health concerns.

Our 30-day, on-site residential treatment program provides a structured, supportive environment where you can focus entirely on your recovery, free from outside distractions and triggers. During your month-long stay, you’ll be offered…
Medication-assisted Addiction Treatment
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) helps ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, making recovery safer and more comfortable. Our medical team carefully prescribes and monitors FDA-approved medications to support your treatment plan, ensuring that each step aligns with your unique needs. When combined with counseling and therapy, MAT can improve long-term success in overcoming addiction by addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of substance use disorder.
Addiction Counseling And Group Therapy
Individual counseling and group therapy provide a safe space to explore the underlying causes of your addiction and work toward meaningful change. Our licensed therapists guide you through evidence-based strategies to build resilience, manage triggers, and develop healthier coping skills that promote long-term stability. Group sessions connect you with others on the same journey, fostering support, accountability, and a sense of community that reinforces your commitment to recovery.
Aftercare Planning To Support Ongoing Recovery
Long-term recovery requires a plan, and our aftercare services help you transition from treatment to everyday life with confidence and ongoing support. We provide personalized strategies, resources, and connections to outpatient therapy, support groups, and sober living options. By preparing you for challenges ahead and reinforcing positive habits, aftercare planning strengthens your foundation for lasting sobriety and empowers you to maintain progress in your recovery journey.

Why Residential Drug Rehab Improves Recovery Outcomes
Residential drug rehab is often recommended because it significantly improves early recovery stability and treatment engagement.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), longer treatment duration and comprehensive care are associated with better outcomes for substance use disorder recovery.
Additionally, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that structured treatment environments help reduce relapse risk during early recovery, particularly for individuals with severe addiction or co-occurring mental health disorders.
Residential programs provide:
- Continuous monitoring during the most vulnerable phase of recovery
- Separation from environments associated with substance use
- Daily therapeutic engagement that reinforces healthy behaviors
For many individuals, residential drug rehab offers the safest and most effective starting point for long-term sobriety.
Residential Drug Rehab FAQ
How long is the residential drug rehab program?
STEPS Detox offers a 30-day residential drug rehab program, though the exact length of stay may vary based on individual clinical needs. Some individuals benefit from additional time in structured care, while others may transition to outpatient or continuing care sooner. During your initial assessment, our clinical team evaluates your substance use history, mental health needs, and recovery goals to recommend the most appropriate treatment timeline.
Is medical detox included in residential treatment?
Yes. Medical detox is included as part of residential drug rehab when clinically necessary. Detox is overseen by licensed medical professionals who monitor withdrawal symptoms, manage discomfort, and ensure safety throughout the process. Once detox is complete, individuals continue seamlessly into residential treatment, allowing for uninterrupted care and a stronger foundation for recovery.
Who is a good candidate for residential drug rehab?
Residential drug rehab is often recommended for individuals with moderate to severe substance use disorders, a history of relapse, or co-occurring mental health conditions. It is also appropriate for those who need a stable, distraction-free environment to focus fully on recovery. During a free assessment, STEPS Detox helps determine whether residential care is the best level of support based on your personal situation.
Do you offer residential drug rehab in more than one location?
Yes. STEPS Detox provides residential drug rehab in both Lafayette and Lake Charles, Louisiana. Each location offers 24/7 medical supervision, evidence-based therapy, and a structured residential environment. Having multiple locations allows individuals to choose the setting that best fits their needs, proximity to home, and support system.
What happens after residential treatment ends?
Residential treatment is an important first step, but recovery continues beyond discharge. STEPS Detox creates a personalized aftercare plan that may include outpatient therapy, ongoing counseling, peer support groups, and community recovery resources. Aftercare planning helps individuals maintain momentum, manage triggers, and stay connected to support systems that promote long-term sobriety.
Is residential drug rehab covered by insurance?
