How Residential Depression Treatment Helps
Some people do well with outpatient depression treatment. Residential depression Treatment is necessary for others. Residential treatment may be necessary if depression is interfering with your ability to function. It may also be important if your depression co-occurs with substance abuse in what is known as a dual diagnosis. Often, suffering from depression drives you to self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. When symptoms worsen, this cycle can spiral into addiction.
More than 50% of all people who die by suicide suffer from major depression. This figure increases to 75% when a depressed person is suffering from co-occurring alcohol abuse. Residential Treatment for depression provides intensive therapy, 24-hour supervision, and structure and support. This can be a critical part of recovery from major depression and play a significant role in suicide prevention.
Residential treatment for depression provides expert care as well as space and time to address:
- Co-occurring alcohol or drug abuse
- Inadequate nutrition
- Sleep disturbances
- Ineffectiveness of outpatient treatments in alleviating severe or chronic depressive disorder symptoms
- Changes in medications or treatments requiring close medical treatment/psychiatric supervision
- Symptoms of mania or depression significantly interfering with normal functions
- Suicidal ideation
- Psychotic symptoms (e.g., hallucinations or delusions)
Residential treatment for depression uses approaches proven in treating depressed people effectively. These may include cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy and psychodynamic therapy. Therapists may also use alternative medicine approaches that complement traditional depression treatments.
Once a client is stable, day treatment and outpatient programs can be effective treatment options.
What is a Residential Depression Treatment Center Like?
The Silver Creek Recovery Center offers treatment for depression as a primary disorder. We also treat depression when it co-occurs with substance abuse, eating disorders including bulimia, anorexia and binge eating, or sex addiction.
Assessments That Guide Your Treatment Plan
Your treatment team at The Silver Creek Recovery Center will assess your physical and mental health. We’ll determine if you have other mental health disorders. For example, depression and anxiety often co-occur together. You’ll also undergo assessments for substance abuse. Many people with depressive disorders abuse alcohol or drugs to self-medicate their symptoms. We’ll determine if medical alcohol or drug detox is necessary. Then, our mental health professionals create a personalized treatment plan based on assessment findings.

Expert Psychiatric Care and Medication Management
Depression treatment generally includes psychotherapy and medication management. An imbalance of the brain chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine can contribute to depression. A psychiatrist may prescribe antidepressants in combination with behavioral therapy to correct imbalances.
The most commonly prescribed medications for major depressive disorders and related disorders include:
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
- Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
- Tricyclic antidepressant medication
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors
Medication for depression can help relieve depression symptoms. But psychotherapy is essential for addressing underlying issues that contribute to mental illness. At The Silver Creek Recovery Center, prescribed medications are taken in combination with psychotherapy and other therapeutic approaches.
Many people respond to a combination of medication and psychotherapeutic interventions. But as many as one-third of the 16 million U.S. adults with depression do not respond adequately to treatment. This is known as treatment-resistant depression. The Silver Creek Recovery Center offers a variety of depression treatments that help people with treatment-resistant depression.
