Treatment Options
Treatment can truly start at any point and is completely dependent upon the individual. These are commonly seen as milestones from the patients and further progression is needed until the final steps are achieved. Despite this the PaRC makes it very clear that there is no end to recovery it is a way of life that every patient must adopt in order to truly be successful.
The levels of treatment are:
- Medical Detox - the patient rids the body of all previous toxins (usually 3-5 days)
- Residential Treatment - this can be any length of time however the patient lives within a facility and is continually busy with many activities while learning about the recovery process and how to cope with the outside world and live a enjoyable, productive life. (30 - 90 days)
- Partial Hospitalization Program - this is similar to residential treatment however you only attend treatment during the day and are able to sleep at home. This is an excellent transition to one's normal life. (>30)
- Intensive Outpatient Treatment - this is the next step of treatment and it is 4 days a week for about 3 hours for each session. (~30 days)
- Aftercare Program - the aftercare program is a community that ensures that the treatment continues and once you completely exit the program you will always be apart of the Alumni Network. (1 year)
