The individuals live at the rehab facility and are ensured a completely alcohol and drug-free environment through their recovery process. While in treatment they tackle 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 difficulties. When the individual has finished their residential short-term treatment, they typically continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Intensely addicted individuals who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from dwelling at a sober living home after they finish treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
