Extended Care

Everyone deserves the chance at lifelong recovery from addiction, whether it’s from drugs or alcohol. We provide the extended support and education you or your loved one need to build a healthier life in recovery.

Extended Care for Long-Term Recovery

Extended care programs provide long-term, residential treatment in a structured, community setting. Participants continue therapy, practice life skills, and build stability over an extended period (60+ days) after initial rehab. This comprehensive approach addresses both the lingering effects of addiction and underlying issues, helping individuals develop confidence in their sobriety.

In contrast, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs) provide intensive daytime treatment while allowing individuals to maintain daily routines, promoting independence and immediate application of coping skills in real-life settings. PHPs serve as a transitional step from more intensive care to outpatient settings, offering cost-effective, flexible support suitable for individuals needing intensive therapy but not requiring 24/7 supervision.

Both extended care and PHP have important roles in recovery. Extended care is ideal for those needing more time in a supportive environment, while PHP helps people transition back to daily life with ongoing support. Our team will help determine which approach fits your needs, ensuring you have the best chance at long-term success.

Long Term Treatment Programs

Following the completion of traditional inpatient treatment programs, people recovering from a substance use disorder might require support to increase their chances of lifelong recovery. Extended care programming provides the counseling, education and wellness activities you need to learn how to live a life free of substance use. This extended care gives you time to apply recovery skills in real life situations while still being supported, significantly increasing your chances of maintaining sobriety.

Is Extended Care Addiction Treatment Right for You?

If you’ve been through rehab before but still struggled to stay sober, an extended care addiction treatment program gives you more time to reinforce your recovery skills with professional support. This includes individuals who:

    Have a History of Relapse

    Those who have experienced multiple relapses or have struggled to maintain sobriety despite previous attempts at treatment may benefit from extended rehab. These programs provide continued guidance and reinforcement of recovery skills to reduce the risk of relapse.

    Need Long-term Support

    Individuals with a history of severe addiction or co-occurring mental health disorders may benefit from extended rehab to address complex needs over an extended period. These programs offer comprehensive treatment strategies tailored to individual circumstances.

    Require a Gradual Transition

    Extended care is beneficial for individuals transitioning from more intensive levels of care, such as inpatient or partial hospitalization programs, to independent living or outpatient rehab. It provides a structured environment while allowing for greater independence and integration into everyday life.

    Seek Structure and Accountability

    Some individuals benefit from the structured environment of extended care rehab programs, which provide regular therapy sessions, group activities, and support meetings. This structure helps individuals maintain focus on their recovery goals and develop healthy routines.

    Desire Continued Learning and Growth

    Extended care rehab programs often offer opportunities for ongoing education about addiction, relapse prevention strategies, and life skills development. This continuous learning supports individuals in building resilience and achieving long-term success in recovery.
