Long Term Drug Rehabs

Residential treatment for drug abuse and addiction has existed for 40 years. Residential treatment, also known as therapeutic communities are located in residential settings and use a hierarchical model with treatment stages that reflect increased levels of personal and social responsibility. Long term rehab is a form of residential treatment.

Long term rehab is generally considered to be a residential or inpatient stay in excess of 30 days. The average length of stay for most long term rehabs is anywhere from 90 days to one year in duration.

The idea behind long term rehab is a longer stay means a longer period for an individual to learn, grasp and use the tools of recovery necessary to gain permanant abstinence from drugs or alcohol. The best candidates for a long term residential stay include the following:

• Someone who has a long history of relapses
• Someone who has tried other short-term programs and hasn't maintained long term recovery
• Someone who has a long history of drug usage and hasn't ever developed the normal responsibilities in life

A long term rehab is highly effective in getting a client to have a strong foundation in recovery. A common mistake that some people make is in entering a long term rehab program and leaving early after they have achieved a small degree of financial stability "thinking that they are well". Ideally a client who begins a long term rehab program should do so with the intention of finishing the program no matter what occurs in life.

Long term rehab programs include, but aren't limited to the following:

• Halfway houses
• Transitional living rehabilitation program
• SILP or Semi Independent Living Program
• Long Term Residential Rehab
• Extended Inpatient Drug Treatment
• Sober Houses
