Long-term rehab gives recovery room to grow. Instead of racing to a discharge date, you move through phases with more freedom and responsibility as you show progress.
Ask how a program measures progress, what each phase includes and how it supports the move home.
What to expect
- Therapy, groups and life-skills work
- Phased treatment that adds responsibility over time
- Aftercare and alumni support
- Insurance reviews coordinated by the program
