The thought of leaving home for 90 days can be very scary, but what if, during that time, you could reconnect, heal, and become the person you want to be? For many people, drug and alcohol addiction treatment begins with inpatient or residential treatment. This type of therapy can last anywhere from 2 weeks to 90 days, depending on your needs.
To give you an idea of what a 90-day drug and alcohol treatment program looks like, let’s explore what happens during those months. Keep in mind that we provide individualized treatment programs for each person. So while we can’t provide an exact description of what you’ll experience, we can describe the foundational components of our program.
Many people with addiction need to spend a week to 10 days in a detox program. If you are actively using substances and physically dependent on them, you will likely need to detox before moving on to the treatment program. In detox, you will receive support and care as we focus on helping you navigate withdrawal safely and with the least amount of discomfort possible.
Addiction is a disease that impacts the structure and function of the brain, and while some of that damage may never go away, we can provide your body with the nutrients and healing tools it needs to see improvement.
How do we do that?
Healing your brain is a big part of the treatment process, and all of these activities contribute. Yet you’ll also need to learn more about what led to your addiction and how to manage stress and other triggers going forward.
Therapy happens in two main ways: individually and in a group. During your 90-day treatment program, you’ll participate in both kinds of therapy and work to address your specific needs and concerns. Your therapy sessions may address the following:
Our counselors keep your sessions confidential, which means you can talk about and work through anything you are facing. That could be overcoming the implications of post-traumatic stress disorder if you’re a veteran or navigating help for bipolar disorder.
In addition to this, we also offer a comprehensive family therapy program. Three months is a long time to live away from family, but you’ll be able to see and talk with them regularly. Your family therapist can help you work through obstacles in the relationships.
During your 90-day treatment, you’ll improve your skills for dealing with the challenges of your future. That means you’ll develop coping methods and strategies for overcoming stress, get help with transitioning back to work or school, and learn how to rebuild relationships.
You can trust us to be there for you for the long term, too, including through:
