Frequently Asked Questions
How long do long-term addiction treatment programs typically last?
Long-term addiction treatment programs typically range from 6 months to 1-2 years, depending on the program and individual needs. Some evidence supports extended residential treatment (90 days or more) for complex cases. Research shows longer stays correlate with better long-term recovery outcomes for many individuals.
What is the difference between long-term and short-term addiction treatment?
Short-term programs (28 days - 3 months) provide intensive treatment for acute withdrawal and stabilization. Long-term programs (6+ months) provide extended treatment allowing deep therapeutic change, skill development, and recovery foundation building. Long-term programs work better for individuals with chronic addiction, dual diagnosis, or prior treatment failures.
Are there funding sources for long-term residential addiction treatment?
Yes. SAMHSA, NIDA, NIAAA, HHS, and state health departments all fund long-term addiction treatment through grants to treatment providers and facilities. Individual treatment is often subsidized or free through grant-funded nonprofits. Call SAMHSA's National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) to find grant-funded long-term treatment in your area.
What are evidence-based long-term addiction treatment approaches?
Evidence-based long-term treatment includes: therapeutic communities (intensive residential peer support), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), family therapy, and recovery support services. Most grants prioritize programs combining behavioral therapy with medical support for optimal outcomes.
What happens after long-term addiction treatment ends?
Aftercare and continuing care are critical. Grants fund alumni support programs, recovery coaching, peer support groups, ongoing therapy, and medication management to prevent relapse and maintain recovery. Many treatment facilities provide transitional services helping individuals find jobs, housing, and community.
Who funds long-term addiction treatment programs?
Primary funders include SAMHSA (federal grants to treatment providers), NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse), state health and substance abuse departments, insurance programs (Medicaid, Medicare), private insurance, and foundations (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Casey Family Programs). Many programs combine multiple funding sources.
