The clients stay at the rehab facility and are ensured a fully alcohol and drug-free environment throughout their recovery process. While in treatment they address their issues with drug and/or alcohol addiction while learning how to go about their life without turning to drugs and alcohol to remedy their concerns. When the client has finished their residential short-term treatment, they usually continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling.

This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
