What are the advantages of inpatient treatment for addiction

Inpatient care, even though I’m not a strong advocate of it, does have it’s place. When an individual has true loss of control over their behavior, their quality of life has deteriorated to a point where they really can’t function independently, inpatient care is what’s called for. Again, the trouble I have with inpatient care as well, is that what happens the day you get out? Almost anybody can be absent from their addiction of choice when they’re locked up in a facility or in a closet, but what happens when they get out and do the real thing? But, nonetheless, if the addiction has taken such a toll on you where you have no, seemingly anyway, control over your behavior and there is no safe zone from yourself, it’s sometimes helpful to put yourself into a residential facility. But, you have to want to be given sort of an opportunity to get distance from all that, all those triggers out there, all that stimulation that has before sort of caused certain acting out, certain activities that are not in your best interest. So, it does have it’s place, but limited and ultimately you must learn how to survive outside of that environment or the obvious is you’ll have to live in seclusion.
