Rockport - Residential Short-Term Rehab (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 individuals reside at the rehab facility and are ensured an entirely alcohol and drug-free environment throughout their recovery process. While in treatment they deal with their complications with drug and/or alcohol addiction while learning how to go about their life without turning to drugs and alcohol to resolve their concerns. When the individual has finished their residential short-term treatment, they generally continue their recovery process by heading into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling.

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