STRUCTURED RESIDENTIAL CARE
What is Intensive Inpatient Treatment?
Inpatient addiction treatment provides a residential setting where individuals receive 24/7 structure, supervision and therapeutic support. This level of care is designed for individuals struggling with substance use disorder, alcohol addiction or drug addiction who need an immersive treatment environment to begin recovery or stabilize after detox.
For individuals searching for inpatient rehab, substance abuse treatment or addiction recovery services in St. Louis, inpatient care offers a focused setting for treatment, recovery education and skill-building. Clients receive individualized care that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of substance abuse disorders while building a strong foundation for long-term recovery.

How Inpatient Treatment at Harris House Works
Our Intensive Inpatient Program serves adults age 18 and over who are struggling with alcohol and/or drug use. Located in a state-of-the-art facility within a safe, secure, fenced setting, the program provides a structured residential environment focused on recovery.
Each client receives an individualized treatment plan and stays in a semi-private room. Programming typically includes individual counseling, two group sessions each morning, and three group sessions in the afternoon and evening.
Group Sessions
Group sessions can be either educational or process-oriented. Educational groups cover the physiological damage of addiction to the body, disease theory, Alcoholics Anonymous steps, trigger identification, and relapse avoidance. Topics of the process group sessions include how to deal with feelings in a healthy way, family dynamics and reunification basics, anger management, stress management, spirituality, and how to have sober fun.
Individual Counseling
Weekly counseling sessions involve both the family and the client in the alcohol and substance abuse treatment plan. Although clients are busy with program activities all day every day, the schedule is relaxed a bit on Sundays, and clients are able to have some free time.
Transportation Services
Airport pickup is provided to clients from outside St. Louis

Understanding Substance Abuse Treatment & Substance Use Disorder
Substance use disorder treatment helps individuals address the underlying causes of alcohol and drug use while developing the tools needed to maintain recovery. Effective substance abuse treatment goes beyond stopping substance use and focuses on creating lasting behavioral, emotional and lifestyle changes.
At Harris House, substance use disorder treatment may include:
- Individual counseling and therapy
- Group counseling and peer support
- Education about addiction and recovery
- Relapse prevention planning
- Family involvement and support
- Ongoing recovery and aftercare planning
Treatment plans are individualized because every person’s experience with substance abuse is different. Our team works closely with clients to develop a personalized approach that supports their recovery goals.
Detox Programs
Detox services focus on medical stabilization and safety during the early stages of withdrawal from substances. For many individuals seeking help for substance abuse, detox may be the first step before entering a more comprehensive treatment program.
Detox is a short-term service designed to help individuals manage physical symptoms while preparing for the next phase of treatment. Detox programs are conducted at Harris House and are provided with medical oversight and monitoring to support safety and comfort during withdrawal.
Detox services may include:
- Medical monitoring during withdrawal
- Symptom management and stabilization
- Supportive care during early recovery
- Planning for next steps in treatment
Detox services are time-limited and focused on stabilization rather than long-term treatment. Following detox, many individuals benefit from continuing care through inpatient treatment or other levels of substance abuse treatment.

Whether you’re seeking help for substance abuse, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, or are exploring treatment options for a loved one, the Harris House team is available 24/7 to help you understand your options and take the next step.
