Each visit lasts several hours, sometimes, eight hours. It can be the best choice for those who have recently developed an addiction.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives.

Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

Therapies & Programs
One of the most common areas of stress and damage during addiction is in intimate relationships. Addiction involves everyone in a family, not only the addict. Couples therapy can rebuild trust and joy that may have been damaged.

Contingency management is a way to help motivate someone to remain substance free. It is a process Mary Hall Freedom House uses which involves rewarding positive choices and good outcomes. As humans we are wired to recreate experiences that lead to positive feelings.
