Alcohol & Drug Rehab FAQ

Our primary focus is treating individuals struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. This also involves those suffering from trauma and dual-diagnosis which is an alcohol and drug addiction alongside a psychiatric disorder such as bi-polar disease, depression, PTSD, or anxiety amongst others. We have structured many programs with a client-centered focus to treat individuals suffering from alcohol and drug addiction, as well as, families affected by the disease. For more information on all of our programs call our addiction specialists today.

We are adamant about placing our clients in a medically supervised detox facility before treatment to ensure the safest and best chance at successful addiction recovery.

Alcohol and drug addiction affects every individual differently, meaning that each individual progresses through the addiction treatment process at different speeds. Generally speaking, our programs can last anywhere from 30 to 90 days, but it really depends on the individuals clinical progress. We are not apt to releasing clients before they are ready to rejoin society without the use of alcohol or drugs and want to ensure the best chance at successful addiction recovery by implementing strong outpatient and aftercare programs.

All programs at The Recovery Place have the ability to gradually decrease the intensity and level of care, while continually increasing levels of responsibility and self-sufficiency. This treatment approach, coupled with a structured housing environment, fosters both independence and interdependence. 

When it comes down to it, length of stay will vary from person to person with the common goal of reaching successful addiction recovery. You don't want to base your recovery process on length of stay, rather on quality of treatment and we are here to guide you through that process efficiently and comfortably. If you have any further questions about the treatment process or length of stay at The Recovery Place don't hesitate to call our addiction specialists.
