Detox and residential treatment are the first steps toward a lifetime of recovery free from addiction. In residential treatment, individuals receive intensive treatment, which may include educational groups, treatment planning, group counseling, individual therapy, relapse prevention groups, psycho-education groups, and specific components tailored for each individual client based on their needs. The clinical staff at a residential rehab works with each individual to assist them in developing the life and coping skills that assist with not only this initial period but sustain them for a lifetime free from addiction.
Residential rehabilitation is usually 30 days long with extension periods offered. Studies have shown that when individuals stay longer than the initial 30 days, their chances of staying sober and clean increase dramatically. A 90 day rehabilitation program provides allows those who have completed residential treatment a chance to practice the skills they learned in their daily life while still providing a safe living container.
