Frequently Asked Questions
What is residential treatment?
Residential treatment is a structured, live-in program providing intensive, 24/7 clinical support for adults with substance use disorders, mental health disorders, or co-occurring disorders.
Unlike outpatient treatment, clients live at the treatment facility full-time, removing daily stressors and distractions so they can focus entirely on healing.
What’s the difference between residential treatment and outpatient treatment?
The primary difference is the level of intensity and structure. Residential treatment provides around-the-clock clinical support in a live-in setting, ideal for those with complex clinical presentations or for those whose symptoms haven’t fully responded to less intensive care.
Outpatient treatment— including partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs — allows clients to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, and is better suited for those who are clinically stable enough to manage more independence during treatment.
How do I know if residential treatment is right for my loved one?
Residential treatment is typically recommended when symptoms are significantly impacting daily life, when outpatient treatment hasn’t provided sufficient relief, or when a higher level of structure and 24/7 support is needed.
STR Behavioral Health’s admissions team conducts a thorough clinical assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care for each individual.
How long is a residential treatment program at STR Behavioral Health?
Length of stay at STR Behavioral Health is individualized based on each client’s clinical needs and progress in treatment. There’s no predetermined timeline — because every person’s journey is unique, treatment continues as long as it’s clinically appropriate.
The treatment team, in collaboration with the client and their loved ones, determines the appropriate length of stay. For those using insurance, duration of care is also subject to insurance approvals.
What disorders does STR Behavioral Health treat in residential programs?
STR Behavioral Health’s residential programs treat substance use disorders, primary mental health disorders, and co-occurring disorders — including anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, trauma-related conditions, and more.
Both STR Silver Pines and STR Cedar Creek offer residential treatment, with each location specializing in different clinical presentations.
Does STR Behavioral Health offer residential treatment for co-occurring disorders?
Yes. Both STR Silver Pines and STR Cedar Creek offer treatment for co-occurring disorders — conditions where mental health and substance use challenges intersect and must be treated simultaneously for lasting recovery.
STR Behavioral Health’s multidisciplinary clinical team is experienced in treating the full complexity of dual diagnosis presentations.
Can family members be involved in residential treatment?
Yes. STR Behavioral Health’s Family Program brings loved ones into the treatment process through therapy, structured psychoeducation, facilitated support groups, and ongoing resources.
Family involvement is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes — for the individual in treatment and for the family as a whole.
Does STR Behavioral Health accept insurance for residential treatment?
Yes. STR Behavioral Health is in-network with most major commercial insurance plans for residential treatment. Medicare and Medicaid aren’t accepted.
STR Behavioral Health is also a VA Community Care Network provider, ensuring veterans have access to high-quality residential treatment. The admissions team will verify benefits and explain coverage options prior to admission.
