What is Long Term Rehab?

Long-term rehab refers to residential addiction treatment programs that typically last 90 days or more, providing intensive therapeutic support within a structured living environment. Unlike short-term programs that focus primarily on detoxification and initial stabilization, this treatment offers the time and space needed to address the complex nature of addiction. This approach allows individuals to break deeply ingrained patterns of substance use while developing new coping mechanisms and life skills.
A long-term addiction rehab program creates a therapeutic community where clients can heal alongside peers facing similar challenges. This community aspect is crucial, as it provides opportunities to practice healthy relationship skills, receive consistent feedback, and experience the benefits of mutual support. The extended timeframe also allows for more comprehensive treatment of co-occurring mental health conditions that often accompany addiction, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or personality disorders.
Our long term program utilizes a phased method that gradually increases independence and responsibility as clients progress through recovery. The initial phase focuses on stabilization and assessment, establishing safety and identifying treatment needs. The middle phase emphasizes intensive therapeutic work, addressing underlying issues and developing practical techniques. The final phase concentrates on relapse prevention, life planning, and transition strategies, preparing clients to maintain their sobriety in real-world settings after completing the structured program.
How Long Is Long Term Rehab?
The duration of long term rehab treatment typically ranges from three months to a year or more, depending on individual needs and progress. At Mile High Recovery Center, our standard long term programs often begin with a 90-day commitment, as research indicates this is the minimum timeframe needed to establish meaningful changes in brain chemistry and behavioral patterns. However, we recognize that healing timelines vary significantly based on factors such as addiction severity, presence of co-occurring disorders, previous treatment experiences, and personal goals.
Many clients benefit from extending their stay beyond the initial 90 days, gradually transitioning through decreasing levels of care within our long term treatment center. This stepped approach might include moving from residential treatment to a partial hospitalization program, then to intensive outpatient care, and finally to outpatient services with sober living support. This gradual transition allows clients to practice newfound skills with increasing independence while still maintaining appropriate levels of support. The flexibility in treatment duration ensures that each person receives the time they need to build a solid foundation for continued sobriety after leaving our structured environment.
