Inpatient drug rehab for married couples is designed to address both addiction recovery and the emotional health of partners. At Trinity Behavioral Health, these programs focus on fostering a supportive environment where couples can recover together, build stronger emotional connections, and enhance their overall well-being. One important aspect of this process is using a variety of assessments to measure emotional well-being, track progress, and adapt treatment plans. This article explores these assessments and the core components of a program where couples heal side by side, receive specialized therapy, and benefit from comprehensive insurance coverage.
Staying Together Through Recovery
One of the defining features of our approach is that couples remain together throughout treatment. This philosophy—couples stay together, room together, and heal together—recognizes that recovery is more powerful when both partners are present for each other’s milestones and setbacks.
Instead of being separated, couples share living spaces and attend many therapy sessions together. This arrangement promotes open communication and helps both partners develop new coping strategies in a shared context. It also means that emotional well-being assessments can be applied to both partners in a way that reflects their individual and relational progress.
For example, mood and stress-level questionnaires might be completed by each spouse, then reviewed together in a joint session. This allows therapists to identify differences in perception and address any emotional disconnect that might hinder recovery.
The benefit of staying together is especially powerful in a pet friendly setting, where shared companionship with a beloved animal can further reduce anxiety and foster a calming environment during recovery.
Specialized Couples Therapy and Dual Support
In addition to joint therapy sessions, each couple receives the benefit of a designated couples therapist—someone focused specifically on their relationship dynamics. This therapist works alongside the individual drug and alcohol counselor assigned to each partner.
The couples therapist conducts relational assessments that measure:
-
Emotional closeness – Using validated scales such as the Inclusion of Other in the Self (IOS) measure.
-
Conflict resolution skills – Often evaluated through guided role-play and communication exercises.
-
Mutual support behaviors – Identifying patterns of encouragement or enabling that impact recovery.
-
Attachment styles – Assessed through standardized tools like the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) questionnaire.
While the couples therapist focuses on relationship health, the individual therapist and counselor work on personal emotional well-being. Tools such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) or the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) may be used to evaluate emotional states over time.
The combination of individual and couples assessments ensures that emotional well-being is measured holistically—addressing personal struggles while strengthening the bond between partners.
Insurance Coverage for Comprehensive Care
A major advantage of attending an inpatient drug rehab for married couples at Trinity Behavioral Health is that insurance often covers most, if not all, treatment costs. Many PPO insurance plans include coverage for:
-
Residential stay – Comfortable accommodations that support both privacy and shared healing.
-
Meals and nutrition support – Essential for stabilizing mood and supporting recovery.
-
Medication management – To assist in managing withdrawal symptoms and mental health conditions.
-
Therapy services – Both individual and couples therapy sessions.
-
Medical visits – Regular health assessments to ensure physical well-being aligns with emotional recovery.
-
Recreational and sober activities – Activities that promote stress relief, bonding, and emotional resilience.
Knowing that insurance can help ease the financial burden allows couples to focus entirely on healing, without the added stress of unexpected expenses.
Emotional Well-Being Assessments Used in Treatment
Emotional well-being in recovery is multi-dimensional, and Trinity Behavioral Health uses various tools to capture an accurate picture of each partner’s progress. These may include:
-
Standardized Psychological Scales – Such as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) to assess mood changes over time.
-
Self-Report Questionnaires – Asking individuals to rate their own stress, happiness, and satisfaction levels weekly.
-
Observational Assessments – Therapists record behavioral cues such as eye contact, tone of voice, and willingness to engage.
-
Relationship Satisfaction Inventories – Such as the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, which measures relationship quality.
-
Trauma Symptom Inventories – For couples with a history of trauma that may influence emotional health.
-
Mindfulness and Coping Skills Checklists – Measuring how often individuals use healthy coping strategies learned in treatment.
These assessments are conducted periodically, allowing therapists to identify patterns, make necessary adjustments to treatment plans, and celebrate milestones in emotional growth.
