It can take time to overcome substance use disorder.
Some patients need a longer, more intensive treatment to ensure lasting sobriety. The Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches’ long-term addiction treatment provides full care and support for you or your loved one who’s battling persistent substance use disorder.
Long-term rehabilitation is a journey, one that’s full of twists and turns. During treatment, you’ll learn to address the root cause of your addiction, build coping skills, and move through detox. Along the way, you’ll receive personalized care and attention, thanks to our holistic approach that addresses your entire being – mind, body, and spirit.
What Is Long-Term Addiction Treatment?
Long-term addiction treatment takes an intensive, comprehensive approach to substance abuse recovery. Treatment typically lasts for more than 90 days. The extended treatment period allows you to address deeply ingrained addictive behaviors and co-occurring mental health issues.
While everyone’s treatment path looks different, component of long-term rehab may include:
- Medically supervised detoxification
- Individual and group therapy sessions
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Family therapy and education
- Life skills training
- Relapse prevention planning
- Holistic therapies such as yoga, meditation, and art therapy
- Aftercare planning and support
At the start of a long-term treatment program, we’ll assess your needs and put together a personalized plan. As you move through recovery, from detox to therapy to reintegration into everyday life, our team will be by your side. The end goal is to achieve ongoing sobriety, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.
What distinguishes a long-term rehab program from shorter-term options? Beyond the duration, there are several critical differences:
- Depth: With a long-term program, you have more time to dive deep into what’s at the heart of your addiction and to focus on treating co-occurring disorders.
- Skill development: Long-term rehab goes way beyond detox. It can also help you develop the skills you need to thrive in life.
- Community integration: Following a long-term treatment, you won’t be simply left to figure things out for yourself. From sober living to spiritual guidance, the program helps you piece your life back together.
Benefits of Long-Term Rehab
Is a short-term or long-term program right for you? The benefits of a longer program include:
- Complete healing: The longer you’re in treatment, the more time you have to fully heal physically and psychologically.
- Complete therapy: More time means more changes for in-depth individual and group therapy sessions. You and your therapist can tackle the heavy stuff, without worrying about running out of time.
- Skill mastery: The more you practice essential coping and life skills, the more likely you’ll be to master them.
- Effective lifestyle changes: Practice makes permanent. With a long-term program, you have the opportunity to adopt and reinforce healthy habits and routines, from improving your diet to getting more sleep to exercising regularly.
- Ongoing support: An extended therapy program gives you the chance to build deeper connections with peers and treatment staff. When you’re ready to leave treatment, you’ll have a robust support system behind you.
- Reduced relapse risk: Longer treatment durations tends to lead to lower relapse rates and better long-term outcomes.
- Personalized aftercare: With an extended program, you have more time to develop a plan for your life after you leave treatment.
