Frequently Asked Questions

About Long-term Residential

Long-term residential programs extending 90 days or longer provide extended time and support for developing deep recovery skills, processing trauma, addressing co-occurring conditions, and building sustainable lifestyle changes. Therapeutic community models create immersive healing environments where individuals recover together, developing the foundation for sustained long-term sobriety.

Who Benefits from Long-Term Care

Long-term residential particularly helps individuals with chronic severe addiction and multiple relapses, complex trauma requiring extended therapeutic work, co-occurring mental health conditions, unstable or unsafe living situations, lack of family or community support, need for vocational or life skills development, or those who simply need more time to develop solid recovery foundation before returning to independent living.

Therapeutic Community Model

Many long-term programs use Therapeutic Community (TC) approach where the community itself becomes primary therapeutic tool. TCs emphasize peer accountability, self-governance, hierarchical responsibility structure, communal living and work, confrontation of negative behaviors, and "right living" principles. Residents progress through phases earning increased privileges and responsibilities, teaching accountability and social skills essential for recovery.

Extended Time for Deep Work

Longer programs allow:

  • Trauma Processing: Extended time for trauma-focused therapy addressing underlying issues
  • Behavior Pattern Change: Months to establish new habits replacing old destructive patterns
  • Relationship Repair: Family therapy, communication skills, rebuilding trust over time
  • Vocational Development: Work skills, resume building, interview practice, career planning
  • Life Skills: Budgeting, cooking, time management, healthy relationships
  • Gradual Responsibility: Practicing independence within supportive structure before full independence

Research Supporting Longer Treatment

Studies consistently show longer treatment duration correlates with better long-term outcomes. The 90-day threshold is particularly significant, with research demonstrating substantially improved abstinence rates, employment outcomes, criminal justice involvement reduction, and overall functioning for individuals completing 90+ days compared to shorter programs. Extended time allows neurobiological healing, behavioral change consolidation, and development of recovery lifestyle.

Practical Considerations

Long-term residential requires significant time commitment away from work, family, and normal life. However, for individuals with chronic relapse patterns, this investment often proves more effective and ultimately less disruptive than repeated short treatment episodes. Family involvement, employer FMLA protections, and careful planning help manage practical logistics. Many find the extended healing time transformational.
