How Long Is a Residential Treatment Program and Why?

“There was a significant relationship between the number of days spent in clinically managed residential treatment and abstinence such that the more days participants spent in clinically managed residential treatment, the more likely they were to be abstinent at the 12-month follow-up.” 

From National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (2019) Addiction Treatment Providers Outcomes – Pilot Program Final Report

Residential treatment programs vary in terms of length and services. Most programs range from 30 days or less, and in some cases, offering a step down to a less intensive level of care. 

Six-week residential treatment program

At Pavillon, we understand there are many types of addiction treatment and, while there is no standard length of treatment, we believe a 6-week residential program is more effective than programs of shorter length. As such, Pavillon offers a 6-week residential treatment program that puts time on your side. It gives you time to settle in, tell your story, heal and address your addiction. This essential element of time also allows us to customize your treatment for lasting recovery.

Pavillon’s residential treatment program provides 24-hour intensive care for those struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. This on-site, around-the-clock care includes individual and group sessions with specialized clinicians to help you:

When you’re ready to take the first step toward lasting recovery, we’re here. We’ve created unique and effective treatment programs to help you face your addiction in your current situation, work for optimal results and establish your custom treatment plan.

Pavillon Update:

This past week has been focused on getting our campus and all systems ready for business, as we planned our re-opening of Pavillon following the devastation of Western North Carolina from Hurricane Helene.

This journey has been challenging; but with focus on and commitment to our staff and patients, we anticipate a return to a “new normal” next week.

We will receive our first patients back on campus on Wednesday, October 16th. Those who were evacuated during the event will be returning to Pavillon over the course of three days, Wednesday, October 16th – Friday, October 18th. New admissions will be accepted starting Saturday, October 19th. Our Admissions Staff have continued to accept calls and screen potential admissions throughout this week. They now will be able to schedule those wanting residential treatment with this return to business date established. This past week our Outpatient Services became fully operational and are currently accepting referrals.

Phones and internet will be in place on our Pavillon campus, but slight delays in our responses can be anticipated as we adjust to new systems. Your patience during this process is appreciated.

We are grateful for the outpouring of support that has helped us to sustain hope during this pause. So many people who have been touched by Pavillon, our alums and our staff, have reached out with kind words and donations to support our recovery efforts. Thank you to all of you!

As we move forward , I will keep you informed of progress with a final update at the end of next week.

In gratitude and appreciation,
Barbara Bennett, CEO
