A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program delivers care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The clients live at the rehab facility and are ensured a completely alcohol and drug-free environment through their recovery process. While in treatment they tackle their troubles with drug and/or alcohol addiction while understanding how to go about their life without turning to drugs to solve their concerns. When the client has completed their residential short-term treatment, they often continue their recovery process by heading into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Heavily addicted people who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from residing at a sober living home after they complete rehab. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
