In long-term residential treatment, the pace is steadier. Alongside therapy and groups, you work on daily structure, employment or school readiness, and the relationships that will support you after treatment.

What to expect
- Family sessions and discharge planning near the end
- Options to extend or step down based on progress
- Connection to outpatient care or recovery housing
- A full therapy schedule through the middle weeks
