    What is Long-Term Rehab?

    Long-term rehab is a treatment style that lasts from 90 to 180 days, or even longer. It typically consists of medical detoxaddiction therapy, and outpatient services that allow you to live on your own but still receive treatment and care. With the right treatment programs, you can learn how to live a life free from addiction through a gradual step-down process. Long-term drug treatment is especially helpful for anyone experiencing chronic relapse or severe addiction.

    The length of a long-term drug treatment program helps to prevent relapse by breaking patterns of addiction through structured treatment. For many people, this combination of thorough treatments and plenty of time to go through them creates the greatest chance for a successful recovery. We know that everyone progresses at their own pace during treatment, so we can personalize your addiction recovery plan based on what you need.

    How-Do-Long-Term-Treatment-Programs-Work

    How Do Long-Term Treatment Programs Work?

    The recovery processes during long-term rehab help individuals to become sober in an effective and natural way. Long-term treatment facilities have a goal to help addicts become productive citizens. To achieve this goal, the facilities help addicts to regain their confidence, self-respect, and sense of responsibility.

    Long-term programs emulate real communities. Once detoxification is complete, residents in recovery receive extra freedoms within their rehab centers. The whole point of long-term programs is to restore individuals to everyday life. This means they are well-prepared to return to their life outside of treatment once their rehab is complete.

    Part of the treatment process involves attending counseling. An individual will receive one-on-one therapies and counseling as part of their treatment. This will help patients to get to the root cause of their addictions. It will also help them to identify their triggers and plan how to avoid them in the future.

    Individuals will also receive group therapies to help to build up a sense of community. Those in a similar situation will be able to form a close network and support each other. Hopefully, these relationships will prove to be beneficial both during treatment and afterward. Since support is so important to recovery, group therapies are a vital element in rehab.

    Customized Treatment Plans That Target Your Needs

    Who is Long-Term Rehab Good For?

    A long-term rehab plan can be a reliable treatment method for anyone looking to maintain recovery and live a successful, sober life. Of course, though, some people can benefit more from long-term addiction rehab treatment than others.

    You may benefit from long-term addiction treatment at SOBA New Jersey if you have:

    What Happens During Detox?

    What to Expect When You Enter Detox at Soba New Jersey

    Addiction affects everyone differently. Before entering our detox program, you will undergo an evaluation with one of our professional and compassionate intake specialists. During this initial assessment, we will ask for information regarding your history of substance abuse, your personal health history, the type of substance you are using, how frequently you are using it, what dosage you typically take, and more. We will also assess your vital signs, such as your blood pressure, and check for dehydration and signs of alcohol or drugs in your urine.

    It is important that you are as honest as possible during your initial evaluation. The more information you provide to us, the better able we will be to create a personalized treatment and recovery program for you. Your recovery program should address your specific situation, as well as your unique needs.

    Following this initial evaluation, you will enter our residential detox program. You will spend all of your time at our facility, where you can receive the around-the-clock care and support you need as you withdraw from alcohol or drugs. The withdrawal process is different for everyone and also depends on the type of substance you are using, but it typically lasts anywhere from several days to a few weeks. Most often, withdrawal symptoms peak during the first couple of days before eventually tapering off and becoming less intense in the following weeks. To learn more about what to expect with alcohol or cocaine withdrawal, visit our Alcohol Detox and Cocaine Detox pages.

    Once you have completed the actual detoxification process and the substance is no longer in your system, the next step in recovery is entering a residential rehab or outpatient rehab in New Jersey.

    Medical detox is just the first step in your recovery; if you complete detox but do not continue treatment, you are much more likely to relapse. However, when you actively participate in ongoing substance abuse treatment, you are much more likely to break the cycle of addiction and go on to lead a healthy, full, and sober life.

    • Relapsed many times before.
    • Started but did not complete short-term rehab.
    • Been addicted to drugs or alcohol for a long time.
    • Have an addiction to multiple drugs.
    • Been given a dual diagnosis (diagnosed with substance use disorder and a mental health disorder).
    • Signs of a severe substance addiction.

    You don’t need to guess if long-term rehab is the right choice for you, either. Our intake specialists at SOBA New Jersey would be happy to sit down with you during initial discussions to decide what treatment types and programs would be the most effective, including long-term rehab or long-term residential treatment. You can trust us to support you every step of the way, no matter what you need to beat addiction.

    What are the Stages of Long-Term Rehab?

    In long-term rehab, the treatment typically begins with detoxification which can last between 5 and 10 days. During detox, you will stop using substances of all kinds and will be assisted with withdrawal management. Depending on which substance was being abused, you may get different types of treatment, such as supportive supervision or medically-assisted detox.

    After detox, you will go through additional treatments to increase the chances of gaining lasting sobriety, such as 30-day residential inpatient treatment. This treatment is a short-term version of a long-term rehab program that allows you to begin your recovery journey in a safe place.

    The next step is usually partial care, where you live at home but also check in 5 days a week to receive expert care and support. Partial care can help you readjust to your day-to-day life and responsibilities, which might have been addiction triggers before.

    Afterward, depending on the severity of the addiction, we might suggest an intensive outpatient treatment program for the remainder of the long-term rehab program. This program requires less time than partial care and prepares you to graduate from long-term rehab, ready to live a successful and sober life.

    Going Beyond Long-Term Treatment

    Statistically, long-term treatment is the most successful approach to treating addiction. At SOBA New Jersey we do everything we can to help our clients overcome addiction and prepare for life outside of treatment. This includes setting up a support network, going to 12 step meetings, and securing a sponsor. When treatment ends and our clients graduate, we make sure they’re fully prepared for life after treatment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the Difference Between Short-Term and Long-Term Treatment?

    Short-term rehab is a program that typically doesn’t last longer than 3 months or 90 days. Where long-term drug treatment programs require that patients spend a minimum of 90 days receiving care and support. Short-term rehab can be helpful for those with a relatively new addiction and who have not had a history of relapse or a dual diagnosis. The patient will be able to detox, receive withdrawal symptom care, and go home after a short period of time.

    Long-term treatment is for those who have multiple addictions, a history of relapse, didn’t complete a short-term treatment program, have a dual diagnosis, or have a strong and long-lasting addiction. This program will also be able to address psychological issues for those who don’t have a dual diagnosis and provide coping skills.

    To ensure that the chance of relapse is less likely, a long-term rehab program is the best option. It’s a way to take your time through recovery to stay sober and get back on track with your life.

    Why Do Long-Term Treatment Programs Work?

    Our long-term rehab program in New Jersey works for several reasons. The recovery processes we put in place help individuals to become sober in an effective and natural way. Long-term treatment facilities have a goal to help addicts to become productive citizens. To achieve this goal, the facilities help addicts to regain their confidence, self-respect, and sense of responsibility.

    The staff was amazingly supportive & encouraging

    SOBA provided me with the perfect platform to get Sober & build a support network to remain Sober… the Staff at Duke St. Detox was amazingly supportive & encouraging, especially Adrien, Carlos, and Celeste… transition to Morrell st. Sober living was seamless & comfortable… where Staff at Bayard IOP lacked empathy, the Housing staff at Morrell st. made up for it & took time to genuinely invest in my situation & help me move forward. Bob, Michelle, David, Danielle, and Jackie always made time for me. Having been in treatment before I have a true perspective on how great SOBA is.

    I would like to take this time to say how much I appreciate everything that this program is and has done for me. I was given another chance at having a sober life and being able to find happiness. This program saved my life. I have been to other treatment programs but none of them could even begin to compare to SOBA College Recovery, where all the other programs failed SOBA succeeded. Clinical and Housing staff alike go above and beyond for the clients. With support from the staff and other clients and a lot of honest hard work, I’ve exceeded even my own expectations. This was the opportunity of a lifetime and I will forever remain humble and grateful for everything this program has given me. Thank You SOBA and SOBA staff!

There are so many good things to say about this place. From the people to the food to the facility itself. Every aspect of SOBA I found great.

    Words cannot even describe what SOBA has done for me. My life has made a 360 degree turn around for the best life I’ve ever experienced. I credit all the staff there, but especially Michelle C from the housing. She is simply amazing she was and is an intricate part of my current success, Michelle truly understands that some of us have really gone through hell, and she uses that knowledge to raise awareness in everyone with whom she comes in contact with. Realistically speaking I did not want to leave there. It was a conflicted day happy and sad at the same time before I got in the Uber Michelle C stopped me and said “let’s pray.” I am forever grateful to her and all of the SOBA staff and patients…

    I have so much to be grateful for because of SOBA.

    I have so much to be grateful for because of SOBA. I have been to other treatment centers and was never successful in maintaining sobriety. The clinical and housing staff were beyond helpful and were always accommodating. I was failing out of school and going down a dark path, but with all the help from Josh, Leigh, Bob, Michelle, Jackie, and David, I am doing well. I did the full program, was in the Sober Living program for around 6 months, and currently reside in their Independent Sober Living. I have earned a 4.0 GPA at my college while here, have made huge strides in my 12-step program, and have made friends for life here. Thank you so much to SOBA for helping me get my life back on track. I look forward to my future!
