Attending and finishing a residential long-term treatment (more than 30 days) program in Cataldo is usually the cornerstone in an addict's successful recovery from their personal struggles with drug or alcohol addiction. This form of drug treatment is more intensive than others due to the fact the person lives at the facility full-time through the treatment process. While many addicts are at first hesitant about attending a long-term program lasting longer than 30 days they soon realize the excellent benefit. A residential long-term treatment (more than 30 days) program provides the recovering person the time to completely withdrawal from drugs and focus on themselves. Shorter programs are not capable of this due to their short duration.
