Residential addiction treatment covers live-in programs for drug and alcohol addiction, often alongside mental health care. You stay at the facility for weeks or months, with a full schedule of therapy and support and staff available at all hours.
It suits people who have not been able to stop with outpatient care, whose home environment makes recovery harder, or who simply need a reset away from daily pressures.
What to expect
- Peer support and 12-step or non-12-step options
- Help arranging care after you leave
- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT and motivational interviewing
- 24-hour staff and a structured, substance-free setting
