Frequently Asked Questions
What is residential treatment?
Residential treatment is designed for individuals facing mental health, substance use, or co-occurring disorders who require a higher level of care than outpatient therapy can provide. It is ideal for those who need a structured, supportive environment to stabilize, develop coping skills, and build a foundation for lasting recovery.
This level of care benefits individuals struggling with persistent symptoms, relapse risks, or challenges in daily functioning. By removing external stressors and providing comprehensive therapeutic support, residential treatment helps clients regain control of their lives in a safe, immersive setting.
How long is a residential treatment program?
Residential treatment programs typically last 30 days, but some clients may benefit from extended care of 60 or 90 days or longer. The length of stay is tailored to individual needs, considering factors such as treatment goals, progress, and the complexity of mental health or substance use challenges. A personalized approach ensures that clients receive the support necessary for lasting recovery.
Where does residential treatment take place?
Residential treatment occurs in non-hospital settings such as homes, therapeutic campuses, or retreat-like environments. These settings provide a structured yet comfortable space where clients engage in daily routines while receiving intensive individual and group therapy. Many programs also incorporate holistic therapies like art, nature-based activities, movement, and creative expression to support whole-person healing.
What are some of the benefits of residential treatment?
+ Continuous Care + Support
Residential treatment provides 24/7 assistance, ensuring individuals can access care when needed. This is crucial for managing ongoing symptoms, adjusting medications, and handling emotional crises throughout treatment.
+ Structured Environment
Residential treatment programs provide a structured, therapeutic setting where clients can focus on healing and making fundamental changes in their lives. This includes personalized therapy and treatment, group therapy, family therapy, and skill building.
+ Tailored Treatment Plans
An essential feature of residential programs is personalized treatment. Each individual who enters treatment is on their journey toward recovery and growth, and they bring their own experiences, strengths, needs, and goals to that journey. Personalized treatment helps them find coping mechanisms and skills that work for them.
+ Peer Support
People in residential programs often receive encouragement and connection from the treatment community. Residents can identify with and understand one another’s struggles but can also provide perspective and a sense of accountability when things are tough.
+ Evidence-Based Methods
Residential programs utilize various therapies and treatment approaches to address an individual’s condition, symptoms, and recovery goals. These include multiple evidence-based modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
+ Holistic-Wellness
Residential treatment addresses all aspects of recovery — physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual. Nutritional guidance, along with recreational therapies like yoga, mindfulness meditation, art therapy, and gym outings, are essential components of the treatment process.
