Long-Term Residential Addiction Treatment Programs
Long-term residential treatment programs provide 24/7 care and range in length between 6 and 12 months. These programs focus on preparing addicts to return to society with a healthy and productive mindset.
All rehab centers vary their approach. Long-term programs tend to be structured in such a way that clients, under guided care, are encouraged to embrace a difficult reality check. Activities involve:
- Self-care habits
- Structuring daily routines
- Avoiding behavior patterns that lead to substance abuse
Short-Term Residential Addiction Treatment Programs
Short-term residential treatment is often based on a modified 12-step program and is designed for those with mild addiction. These programs typically range from 3 to 6 weeks of inpatient treatment. In addition, they’re often followed by outpatient treatment or aftercare programs and participation in a self-help group such as AA or NA. Clients are encouraged to continue their engagement with outpatient programs to avoid relapse.
Outpatient Treatment Options
There are many options for support that do not involve inpatient treatment. Many of these involve social engagement in low-intensity programs like recovery groups. Some models encourage intensive outpatient treatment for a few days, partly in the care of a medical emergency during the withdrawal period. In most cases, counseling and group meetings follow this treatment.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one counseling focuses on helping addicts reduce or stop substance abuse. Therapy sessions focus on structuring daily routine, employment, maintaining and strengthening healthy relationships while breaking away from those who enable poor decisions. Patients also learn strategies to help resist the temptation to abuse substances. An addiction counselor will often encourage participation in a 12-step program or related group work. Counselors also refer clients for:
- Medical care
- Mental health assessments
- Employment programs
- Addiction treatment programs
Group Meetings
Research suggests group work with peers in recovery, in conjunction with individual counseling, can result in positive outcomes. Group meetings facilitate conversations between those in recovery as they navigate a substance-free lifestyle. Social reinforcement helps those in recovery strengthen their habits and routines while avoiding relapse.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Medication-assisted treatment involves the use of approved medications to treat substance abuse disorders. This method is generally used to treat addiction to opioids. Therapeutic medications help regulate brain chemistry, relieve the physical effects of cravings, and prevent the euphoric effects of illicit substances. Medication-assisted treatments aim to allow addicts to move through their daily routine without psychological and physical withdrawal symptoms as they work to reintegrate themselves into society.
