Residential drug rehab means living at the treatment program for the length of your stay, usually 28 to 90 days. Days are structured around individual therapy, group sessions, medical check-ins and recovery skills, with staff on site around the clock.
Living on site takes you out of the places, people and routines tied to drug use. For many people, that distance is what makes the first weeks of recovery possible.
What to expect
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
What Texas rules mean for residential drug rehab
Texas residential drug programs keep direct care staff awake and on site around the clock and a counselor on duty at least eight hours a day, six days a week. Ask programs near San Marcos whether they are licensed for intensive or supportive residential care, because the difference is the number of treatment hours each week.
What to ask a program
- How many individual counseling hours are there each week?
