Inpatient rehab, also called residential treatment, is the level of care where someone lives on-site at a treatment facility and receives structured support 24 hours a day.[1]
It sits above outpatient programs like PHP and IOP in intensity, because the recovery environment itself becomes part of the treatment. At Radix, residents wake up, eat, work through therapy, and rest inside the same supportive setting, with licensed clinical staff present around the clock.
It helps to be clear about what residential treatment is not. It is not a detox hold, and it is not a hospital stay. Medical detox stabilizes the body during withdrawal, and a hospital treats acute medical events. Residential inpatient is the therapeutic program that comes after stabilization, where the real work of recovery happens: rebuilding daily routines, processing what drove the addiction, and learning the skills that hold up after discharge. Residents do not simply wait out a clock here. They live, learn, and heal in a place built to help them rebuild from the root up.
It can be either. Rehab is a general term for addiction treatment delivered at different levels of intensity. Inpatient means the person lives at the facility and receives around-the-clock support. Outpatient means they live at home and travel in for scheduled sessions.[2] The right level depends on clinical need, not preference alone.
If any of these sound familiar, a conversation with our admissions team costs nothing. We will be straight with you about what level of care fits your situation.
A clinically serious program inside a genuinely beautiful place. Here is the environment, the pathways, and what sets Radix apart.
Radix is housed in the Higley Mansion, a fully restored 1920s historic landmark in Cedar Rapids. It is deliberately not institutional. This is a genuinely beautiful space that communicates care from the moment someone walks in. The setting includes 68 beds across private and semi-private rooms, with common areas designed for community rather than confinement.
Clinically guided and individually tailored, never set by the minimum an insurance plan will authorize. Each stage builds on the one before it.

Length is determined by a resident’s history, severity, and clinical progress, not by minimum insurance authorization. Research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse indicates that longer treatment durations are generally associated with significantly better long-term outcomes.[3]
Six things you will not find stacked together at most programs in Iowa.
A full continuum under one roof, with no facility transfer as care steps down.
Dual diagnosis integrated from intake, so mental health is treated alongside addiction.
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), naltrexone, and acamprosate as part of the clinical plan
Daily structure that builds a recovery identity, not just manages withdrawal.
Small, consistent teams, so residents know their care team by name.
68 beds, fully staffed and actively admitting, Iowa’s largest residential program.
Residential care is not one setting. The two sub-levels differ in how much structure and clinical oversight they provide, and the right one depends on your actual clinical picture.
Intensive means clinically responsive, not punishing.
More autonomy, still fully residential
Graduated independence, not reduced care. The right level for the right person at the right stage.
Radix’s clinical team conducts a thorough ASAM-informed assessment at intake and recommends the appropriate residential intensity based on your actual clinical picture, not on what is simplest to bill.[4] If your needs shift during treatment, your level of care is adjusted accordingly. The goal is the right level of support at every stage, not a one-size-fits-all program.
The top question people ask before admission is simple: what will I actually be doing all day? Here is the rhythm. Purposeful, not institutional.
Schedules are individualized. Not every resident attends the same sessions. Our clinical team tailors daily programming to each resident’s treatment goals, history, and progress. This is structure that creates safety for people who have been living in chaos.
7:00 – 10:30 AM
Morning group therapy (CBT-based: coping skills, relapse prevention, emotional regulation).
12:00 – 1:00 PM
2:30 – 5:30 PM
Builds distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, all critical for sustainable recovery.
Builds the intrinsic motivation and self-directed commitment to change that sustains recovery when clinical structure steps away.
Minimum twice weekly with a licensed therapist who stays consistent for the full length of your stay.
Peer learning, community building, and accountability with people who genuinely understand the experience.
Clinical sessions that bring the people closest to recovery into the work. See the family involvement section below.
Addiction rarely travels alone. Data from SAMHSA indicates that a significant majority of people in substance use disorder treatment also live with a co-occurring mental health condition.[5]
When only the addiction is treated, the condition underneath keeps pulling a person back. At Radix, mental health screening happens on admission, not as an afterthought once treatment is already underway, and our licensed clinicians are trained in co-occurring mental health treatment.
Treating the addiction and the condition behind it, at the same time, is what gives recovery something solid to stand on.
Buprenorphine and naloxone
Reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Extended-release naltrexone
Blocks the reinforcing effects of use and reduces craving signals.
MAT does not mean trading one dependency for another. Used correctly, with appropriate tapering and clinical oversight, these medications give the brain the stability it needs to actually benefit from therapy.
Recovery holds better when the people closest to it understand the work. Family involvement at Radix rests on four pillars.
Structured, therapist-facilitated, and clinical, not just casual check-ins.
Understanding the disease, the triggers, and the recovery process together.
Rebuilding trust and learning to set healthy, lasting boundaries during recovery
Bringing loved ones into the discharge and relapse-prevention plan.
Not every resident arrives with a safe or supportive family system, and we say that plainly. For those who do not, Radix helps build a chosen family through community, so no one has to rebuild alone.
This track is built for the CEOs, physicians, attorneys, business owners, and other high-functioning professionals who carry a particular fear: loss of reputation, licensure, or ground in a career they have spent decades building.
Private accommodations and a discreet admissions process.
HIPAA-compliant care, with staff trained to professional confidentiality norms.
Executive-focused group programming alongside professional peers
Physician Health Program referrals and compliance integration for licensed professionals.

The first 90 days after leaving residential treatment are statistically the highest-risk period. So we build the aftercare plan during treatment, not in the last 48 hours before discharge.

The most-searched question about inpatient rehab has a reassuring answer, and the fastest way to know your exact coverage is to let us check it for you.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires most plans to cover substance use treatment at the same level as medical care.[9]
Most major commercial insurers cover residential inpatient, typically with pre-authorization.
Iowa Medicaid, and Hawki for families and children, covers inpatient rehab for qualifying residents.
Out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. We explain them upfront, with no surprise billing.
Inpatient rehab, also called residential treatment, means living on-site at a treatment facility while receiving structured, around-the-clock care. At Radix, residents stay in a fully restored historic home in Cedar Rapids and follow a daily schedule of individual therapy, group work, and clinical support, with licensed staff present overnight. Unlike outpatient care, where you return home each day, inpatient surrounds you with a recovery environment 24 hours a day. Radix offers 30, 60, and 90-day pathways, matched to your clinical needs rather than a fixed template.
The cost of inpatient rehab varies based on your insurance plan, your deductible, and the length of stay your clinical needs call for. Most major insurers cover residential treatment, and Iowa Medicaid covers inpatient rehab for qualifying residents. Rather than quote a number that may not reflect your situation, our team verifies your specific benefits for free in about two minutes, then explains your expected out-of-pocket costs upfront, with no surprise billing. Call (319) 270-2890 to start.
In most cases, yes. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires most plans to cover substance use treatment at the same level as medical care. Most commercial insurers and Iowa Medicaid cover residential inpatient, typically with pre-authorization, which Radix handles for you. The fastest way to know exactly what your plan covers is to verify your insurance, a free and confidential step that takes about two minutes.
Neither is universally better, the right choice depends on the individual. Inpatient is generally the stronger fit when addiction is severe, when there are co-occurring mental health conditions, when previous attempts have ended in relapse, or when the home environment is unsafe for recovery. Outpatient can work well for people with a stable support system and earlier-stage concerns. Radix offers both, and a clinical assessment is the most reliable way to determine which level of care fits your situation.
Pack comfortable clothing for seven to ten days, basic toiletries without alcohol or aerosols, any prescription medications in their original containers, your insurance card, and a photo ID. Leave behind cameras, any substances, and excessive valuables. Once your admission is scheduled, Radix sends a complete packing list so you know exactly what to bring and what to leave at home. If you are unsure about a specific item, the admissions team can answer that on your intake call.
Treatment at Radix is voluntary, and residents are never held against their will. That said, leaving against medical advice significantly increases the risk of relapse, so if you find yourself wanting to leave early, the clinical team will talk it through with you first. Often that urge reflects a hard moment in the work rather than a true desire to stop, and working through it is part of recovery.
Discharge planning begins near day one, not in your final week. Most residents step down to our Partial Hospitalization Program or Intensive Outpatient Program on the same campus, which means no new provider, no new intake paperwork, and no new trust to build from scratch. You also leave with a written relapse prevention plan and connections to alumni support, so the transition out of residential care is structured rather than abrupt.
Yes. Radix treats alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and polysubstance use, along with the co-occurring mental health conditions that often accompany them. Because dual diagnosis care is integrated into our model, both the addiction and any underlying condition are treated at the same time, within one treatment plan and by one consistent care team.
Call (319) 270-2890 or complete the online form to get started. From there, the process is a clinical pre-screen, insurance verification, and scheduling, with same-week admission available in most cases. The entire process is handled with you, not for you, so you understand each step before it happens. Every part of that first conversation is free and confidential.
