Elrod - Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days or Less)

A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program provides care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The individuals reside at the rehab facility and are ensured a fully alcohol and drug-free environment throughout their recovery process. While in treatment they address their complications with drug and/or alcohol addiction while learning how to go about their life without turning to drugs to solve their problems. When the person has completed their residential short-term treatment, they usually continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Seriously addicted people who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from living at a sober living home after they complete treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
