What Is a Typical Timeline for 90 Day Rehab Programs?

A 90-day drug or alcohol rehab program is very advantageous to someone who is addicted to these substances because it gives each person a significant amount of time to recover from his addiction. Those addicted to any of these substances have a lot to learn about their addictions and how to live in recovery, and these lessons cannot necessarily be learned in just 30 days. The extra time also gives them a chance to experience being sober without having the pressures of returning to their regular lives right away. 

Entering into a 90-day rehab program makes it more likely that people will successfully recover from their drug addictions, but it also ensures that they will remain free of the drugs for the rest of their lives. Shorter rehabilitation programs cannot promise this. A 90-day program also makes it more likely that the graduate will retain his or her employment. With this being the case, people do not engage in criminal activity as often as they had in the past. 

The First 30 Days

When your loved one first arrives at the rehab center, she will undergo the assessment process. This is when the staff records your loved one’s history with substance abuse and performs a physical examination. These examinations will let the staff know how serious the addiction is and whether or not there are any underlying physical or mental health issues. Then, the staff will be able to develop an individualized treatment plan for your loved one. 

Next, your loved one will need to go through the detoxification process because he will not be able to begin counseling if he is experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Detox clears all of the toxins out of your loved one’s body. After the detoxification process is complete, your loved one enters into therapy. Therapy sessions will involve one-on-one therapy with a counselor as well as group therapy. If your loved one has a co-occurring mental health issue, this will be treated as well. Those who are living with depression or anxiety have extra challenges when they are trying to become free of the drugs, so these issues need to be addressed at the same time that the therapy sessions are ongoing. This is known as “dual diagnosis.” 

The Second 30 Days

During this time, your loved one will become accustomed to living without her drug of choice. This can be such a foreign concept to some people that they will need plenty of time to get used to it. It is also at this time that your loved one will be most susceptible to returning to the drugs, so being in a 90-day treatment center will keep her in a safe place so that she will not be able to access drugs. 

This will be the time when your loved one will begin to understand what her underlying issues are that cause her to take drugs. As she and her counselor delve into these underlying issues, she will be learning how she can fight these triggers when she is out on her own. She will also learn how she can prevent a relapse back into the drug addiction. The 90-day program gives her plenty of time to practice the new skills she will need to remain drug free. 

The Third 30 Days

If your loved one is involved in a 12-step program, he will spend the last 30 days finishing this process. Therapy will also continue because engaging in therapy for a full 90 days will make it more likely that your loved one will be prepared to face life without taking drugs. This is also the time that your loved one will need to prepare to make his living outside of the rehab center, so he will search for a job and a place to stay. Your loved one may not want to return to his old living conditions, so he may be able to enter into a sober living facility. 

After the entire program is complete, your loved one will be introduced to the discharge procedures and learn about the aftercare services that will be available to him. Aftercare ensures that your loved one will remain sober after he has left the rehab facility because those who take advantage of this option have fewer instances of returning to drugs. Some people choose a 12-step program. Those who wish to continue exploring their substance abuse issues can continue attending therapy sessions.
