Long-term rehab covers residential programs that run longer than 30 days, often 60 days to six months or more. These programs focus on rebuilding a whole life, not just stopping substance use.
Long stays are especially useful after multiple relapses, for people with co-occurring mental health conditions, or when going home too soon would put recovery at risk.
What to expect
- Options to extend or step down based on progress
- Connection to outpatient care or recovery housing
- A full therapy schedule through the middle weeks
- Detox and stabilization in the first week if needed
Before you choose long-term rehab
Long-term programs typically run past three months and pair intensive residential care with a supportive residential phase, a staffed sober setting with at least 6 hours of treatment a week under Texas rules.
Questions to ask
- Is the program licensed or registered with HHSC?
- What does each phase cost?
- Is there vocational or education support?
