Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs
Transitional/Long-Term Substance Abuse
Treatment
The
Long-Term Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program of The Providence
Center provides substance abuse treatment to men and women who are
chronically addicted to alcohol or drugs. Residents are provided with
individual and group treatment, case management, as well as follow-up care
crucial to the recovery of high-risk adults who may lack stable support in
the community. Although many of our residents are learning to cope with
additional medical and mental health problems, all members of this program
are chemically dependent and share a common goal: learning to live without
the use of alcohol and/or other illicit drugs.
Length of Stay
The length of stay here can be three to nine months or longer, depending
on the individual needs of the client. If the client is in transition,
such as waiting for short-term residential treatment or sober housing
elsewhere, his or her stay would be a minimum of one month. An exception
is made if the client is already on another waiting list when he or she
arrives, and that space becomes available before the month is up.
About the Program
During your treatment, you will attend daily sessions, including group
therapy, men's or women's groups, social skills, relaxation therapy,
cognitive restructuring therapy, relapse prevention, and daily living
skills. Along with therapy groups, you will attend the 12-Step Programs of
AA and NA. Staff will keep you informed of social service programs and
housing options.You Are Not Alone
