Residential Treatment Facilities

HealthProviders DB is a comprehensive database of healthcare providers, including a complete directory of all Residential Treatment Facilities.

Residential treatment facilities provide a structured, 24-hour environment for individuals with significant mental health or substance use disorders.

They offer a range of services, including individual and group therapy, medication management, and life skills training, often combined with housing and medical care in a supportive, non-hospital setting.

This type of facility is for those who need a more intensive level of care than outpatient services but less than a complete inpatient psychiatric hospital. 

Key services and features

Intensive and structured environment: Staffed 24/7, these facilities provide a consistent, highly structured routine that helps residents establish new, healthy habits and provides safety and supervision.

Comprehensive therapy: Services include individual counseling, group therapy, and family therapy to address personal challenges and family dynamics and to build coping skills.

Medical and psychiatric support: Residents can receive medication management, and some facilities may also offer medical detoxification services for substance use disorders.

Life skills and education: Residents participate in educational sessions and workshops focused on real-world tools for managing stress, triggers, and cravings.

Specialized treatment tracks: Many facilities offer specialized programs to meet specific needs, such as for opioid addiction, trauma-focused care, or gender-specific issues. 

Who is it for?

  • Individuals with substance use disorders or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.
  • Youths with psychiatric or behavioral problems who have been unsuccessful in less intensive treatment settings.
  • Those who need more support than traditional outpatient care but do not require the 24/7 medical supervision of a hospital.

Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities

Healthcare Taxonomy Code 323P00000X

A residential treatment facility (RTF) is a facility or distinct part of a facility that provides children and adolescents with a total, twenty-four-hour, therapeutically planned group living and learning situation in which various and individualized psychotherapeutic interventions can occur.

Residential treatment is a specific level of care, distinct from acute, intermediate, and long-term hospital care, where the least restrictive environment is maintained to allow for the normalization of the patient’s surroundings.

The RTF must be both physically and programmatically distinct if it is part of a larger treatment program.

An RTF is organized and professionally staffed to provide residential treatment of mental disorders to children and adolescents who have sufficient intellectual potential to respond to active treatment (that is, for whom it can reasonably be assumed that treatment of the mental disorder will result in an improved ability to function outside the RTF) for whom outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization or protected and structured environment is medically or psychologically necessary.

Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Facilities

Healthcare Taxonomy Code 324500000X

A facility or distinct part of a facility that provides a 24 hr, therapeutically planned living and rehabilitative intervention environment for the treatment of individuals with disorders in the abuse of drugs, alcohol, and other substances.
