Finding a Treatment Program

Types of Programs

Most rehabilitative care for addiction occurs in “programs” that are dedicated to this specialty. Residential programs of 30-90 days are most appropriate for an individual who would like to get the most from treatment and remain free from alcoholism or addiction in their normal life after treatment. Treatment centers typically offer a minimum of a 30-day stay.

All programs have group and individual counseling. Many programs now offer medications for addiction and psychiatric problems. The rehab centers we work with offer social services to help gain better employment, deal with pending legal problems, improve parenting and marital relationships and even obtain drug-free housing. Our programs have structure in their curriculum, better trained and supervised therapists and counselors, individualized treatment planning, monitoring of alcohol and drug use during treatment, and some programs offer follow-up continuing care after discharge.

Is Treatment Right for Me?
If you have not had success in your efforts to control your substance use on your own, or through help from others, it is likely that a residential treatment center will be more appropriate. All the centers we work with strive to bring about total abstinence from alcohol and all other drugs. If you have tried and failed at many ways to control your substance use without quitting rehab is the way to get the help you need.
