Residential / inpatientLong-termDual diagnosisHow long-term rehab works
Long-term rehab gives recovery room to grow. Instead of racing to a discharge date, you move through phases with more freedom and responsibility as you show progress.
Ask how a program measures progress, what each phase includes and how it supports the move home.
What to expect
- A full therapy schedule through the middle weeks
- Options to extend or step down based on progress
- Family sessions and discharge planning near the end
- Connection to outpatient care or recovery housing
