Residential Treatment

CRC's residential facilities are typically retreat-like buildings situated in rustic, multiple-acre campuses. Patients generally come to these facilities to receive intensive, inpatient treatment and counseling services. A residential facility treats patients who abuse any type of substance, ranging from alcohol to illicit drugs or chemicals but also patients who are dealing with unresolved emotional trauma, eating disorders or sexual addiction. Residential treatment is designed to provide patients with rehabilitation services in a peaceful setting that is removed from the pressures, pace, and temptations of the patient's everyday life. Consequently, most residential facilities are located in more secluded settings that are outside urban population centers. Residential treatment can entail detoxification (three to four days of intensive medical care to stabilize a patient's physical withdrawal from substance), counseling programs, education lectures, and support group therapy. CRC provides three basic levels of residential treatment depending on the severity of the patient's addiction and/or disorder. Patients with the most debilitating dependencies are typically offered inpatient treatment, in which the patient resides at the treatment center for a two to four week period. If a patient's condition is less severe, he or she will be offered day treatment, which allows the patient to return home in the evening. The least intensive service is outpatient treatment, whereby the patient visits the residential facility for just a few hours a week to attend counseling / group sessions.
