    What is long-term residential treatment?

    Long-term residential is a residential inpatient treatment program for people who benefit from more time in a structured, substance-free environment before transitioning back to community living. It can follow both a withdrawal management program or our short-term residential program. You reside onsite and receive structured, around-the-clock support to guide you through your journey. A longer stay (typically 3-6 months), allows deeper work on the patterns, habits and coping mechanisms associated with addiction and building a strong foundation for independent recovery.

    What to expect

    What to expect.

    • More time to build a foundation

      For many people, lasting change takes time and new beginnings. Long-term residential gives you the time and structure to help you build your personal skills and understand that support is needed for your sustained recovery.

    • Individualized, clinically guided care

      Your treatment and discharge plan is built around your needs and progress, not a fixed calendar, and follows American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) placement criteria. Turning Point's long-term residential program typically lasts between three and six months. Your care team will build an individualized treatment and discharge plan with you perfectly suited for your individual needs.

    • Daily structure and accountability

      Consistent routines, individual and group counseling, and a community of people working toward the unifying goal of recovery.

Supervised group outings like bowling, museum visits and plays align with broader healing and wellness goals.
