Rehab is not enough

Inpatient treatment is a start, but it's only a start. Treatment facilities are time-limited in their ability to aid in substance abuse recovery. A traditional detox or inpatient treatment program may last as little as ten to twenty-eight days. This short period is based not upon scientific research data, but on what insurance companies routinely pay. A one month detox, however, is not usually enough time to achieve lasting recovery. That's why Refugio House does not place a time limit on our residents' recovery program. We believe the most qualified person to determine the length of a recovery program is the individual resident himself/herself. We encourage our transitional housing residents to stay as long as they need to reestablish their physical, mental, spiritual, financial, and emotional recovery. This process takes months - often years.
