Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment.

Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.
Aftercare support is vital to the success of someone in drug or alcohol treatment. It involves assisting with entering a sober living home, getting career counseling or educational assistance and even getting the individual lined up with programs like AA and NA. This support helps recovering addicts readjust to normal day-to-day activities and maintain sobriety.

It helps people explore their thoughts for problems (or false beliefs) that influence their mood and actions. CBT is very goal-oriented, which means that the therapist and patient work together on a specific problem. In addition to helping a client focus on thoughts that can be changed, CBT also allows them to take an active role in their treatment. Our thoughts determine our feelings and behaviors; our feelings affect our thoughts, and our behaviors change our thoughts and feelings.
