Residential Short-Term Rehabilitation (30 Days or Less) - MendenhallA 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 for the duration of their recovery process. While in treatment they handle their complications with drug and/or alcohol addiction while finding out how to go about their life without turning to drugs and alcohol to solve their issues. When the person has completed their residential short-term treatment, they often continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Intensely addicted persons who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from dwelling at a sober living home after they finish rehab. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
