A 90-day residential drug rehab is one of the most common and recommended forms of treatment. With so many emotional and psychological factors impacting addiction, it’s important to focus on healing from the inside out. Stopping substance abuse is one thing, but addiction won’t be broken until internal wounds have been patched up.
After detox, a person has to relearn how to survive without relying on drugs. Just about everything in life will be affected by drug use, and it can take a long time to learn how to cope with one’s thoughts, feelings and daily stressors without the use of drugs or alcohol.
The comprehensive approach found in 90-day programs provides the level of intensity and focus many people need in order to acquire the skills needed to fully recover from addiction and rejoin society as a sober person.
A 90-day Rehab Timeline
Each rehab is different, and some may have their own approaches to treatment. However, many 90-day rehabs are focused on medically-supervised withdrawal and detox followed by intensive therapy, skill-building and the 12-step program of addiction treatment.
Intake and Admission
Before you are admitted to the rehab facility, your doctor will examine your health condition and decide if you are the right candidate for the 90-day rehab program. The results should also help the doctor determine the best approach for your situation. If you have other mental disorders such as anxiety and depression, the facility may refer you to dual diagnosis associated programs. Admission and intake take even a day, depending on the availability of spots and emergency involved.
Detox
When you first check into rehab, your primary focus will be detoxing from any substances you abuse. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for drugs to fully leave your system, so you will spend the first portion of your rehab recovering from withdrawal with the help of medically-trained addiction specialists.
Therapy
The majority of your inpatient treatment will be focused around completing a structured program. This includes one-on-one counseling, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, a 12-step recovery program and skills training. You will be able to connect with others and gain valuable support while acquiring the coping mechanisms and skills you need to deal with your thoughts and emotions post-rehab.
A large facet of your addiction counseling will be addressing the underlying factors that caused your substance abuse. You can learn how to identify and change certain thought patterns that lead to drug abuse as well as treat other conditions you might have that can lead to substance abuse such as depression and anxiety.
Relapse Prevention
The final stage of a 90-day treatment program will help you prepare for a sober life by organizing your discharge and planning your aftercare. It’s important to stay connected to a local support group and/or continue your therapy through an outpatient program to ensure that you stay committed to sobriety.
