GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program supplies care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The clients live at the rehab facility and are ensured an entirely alcohol and drug-free environment through their recovery process. While in treatment they deal with their troubles with drug and/or alcohol addiction while learning how to go about their life without turning to drugs and alcohol to solve their issues. When the individual has finished their residential short-term treatment, they frequently continue their recovery process by heading into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Intensely addicted individuals who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from residing at a sober living home after they complete treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
