Notre Dame - Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days or Less)

A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program offers care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The clients stay at the rehab facility and are ensured a totally alcohol and drug-free environment throughout 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 resolve their problems. When the person has completed their residential short-term treatment, they generally continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Heavily addicted persons who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from residing at a sober living home after they complete rehab. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
