Addiction Treatment Options

Our long-term treatment program allows clients to explore a range of treatment options and therapies for a holistic approach to recovery. These include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Talk with a counselor to identify negative thinking and behavioral patterns that influence substance use. Discover new strategies for coping with painful emotions and life stressors.
Group Therapy: Listen to peers and share your experiences with others during a group therapy session. Learn from others’ experiences, gain positive support and end the isolation of addiction.
Experiential Therapy: Under the guidance of a compassionate counselor, re-experience a painful situation from the past to release negative emotions, gain acceptance and learn a new perspective.
Didactic Group Therapy: Learn the facts about substance abuse and its impact on your body, mind and relationships. Within a warm, counselor-led group setting, you’ll gain an understanding of addiction, greater self-awareness and learn relapse prevention techniques.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): Engage in a brief session where a technique such as visualization is used to relive a traumatic experience. ART helps desensitize individuals to past traumas and frees them from negative thought cycles. With ART, clients also get the chance to resolve the emotions tied to the traumatic event quickly.
Family Therapy: As part of a long-term rehab program, you’ll have the opportunity to rebuild relationships with the people you love under the guidance of a counselor.
Gender-Specific Therapy: Addiction affects men and women differently due to biological, environmental and societal factors. To make sure all of our clients receive the most effective treatment possible and never feel alone throughout the process, we offer gender-specific therapy sessions.
Alternative Healing: At Tranquil Shores, clients can engage in alternative healing activities, such as acupuncture, drum therapy, Kai Chi Do, massage therapy, qigong, yoga and meditation. Clients can learn useful techniques for coping with stress, relieving tension and releasing negative emotions throughout their recovery. Alternative healing methods help clients feel healthy, strong, empowered and ready to face the world addiction-free.

How Long Is Long-Term Rehab?

Long-term drug treatment programs typically last 90 days or longer, depending on the long-term addiction facility and the client’s needs. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that treatment programs less than 90 days have limited effectiveness. Some clients require much longer than 90 days at a long-term rehab center before they are ready to continue their recovery at home. For example, methadone maintenance requires at least 12 months in a treatment program. Some individuals who struggle with opioid addictions benefit for years from methadone maintenance.

When you first talk with the staff of Tranquil Shores, we will discuss all of your treatment options. That includes whether a longer, 90-day program is right for you.

Don’t think of a longer rehab program as an indicator that you have more or bigger problems than you thought. Mental health and addiction are not measured by the amount of time it takes to heal. Instead, focus on the positives that can come out of a long-term rehab program for you. This is an opportunity to turn your life around, improve your overall health and put you on a path to a happy life.

When we recommend a 90-day rehab program for you at Tranquil Shores, that means we have a lot of treatment options for you to explore. We want you to stay and learn as much as you can so that when you go back home, your recovery is strong and long-lasting. We are here to care for you until you learn to care for yourself.

Integrated Recovery Model (IRM)

Tranquil Shores uses the Integrated Recovery Model (IRM) to support our addiction recovery program. Integrated treatment refers to the use of multiple therapies and techniques to treat one or more conditions at the same time. IRM strives to heal the person as a whole and addresses their physical, mental, emotional, behavioral and spiritual needs for long-term effects.

Clinical studies have found that psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders often co-occur. For example, 36-40% of young adults with serious mental health problems meet the criteria for a substance use disorder. IRM makes sure all areas are addressed to prepare the client for long-term recovery.

In summary, IRM is an evidence-based practice with critical features, including:

Client Involvement: As a client at Tranquil Shores, you are part of the decision-making process. You will work with knowledgeable, caring counselors to design a personalized treatment plan for addiction and co-occurring disorders. With a counselor’s guidance, you will set goals and discuss your path to recovery.
Integrated Services: At Tranquil Shores, we understand many clients have turned to substance abuse to relieve symptoms of a co-occurring disorder like depression or anxiety. We offer services to address all the issues a client is experiencing, so they can focus on recovery without needing to schedule therapy appointments outside of our facility.
Acceptance of Long-Term Recovery: We embrace a long-term perspective because we understand that recovery is a lifelong process. By taking small steps every day, each client builds the skills and self-awareness to stay addiction-free long-term.
Motivation-Based: Treatment is designed to match a client’s level of motivation. There are different stages to recovery, from engagement to relapse prevention. We make sure clients are ready to take each step, and we encourage them to become active in their treatment plan. If they are not ready, we listen, we learn and we develop the best steps for moving forward. For example, we use motivational interviewing, which helps individuals feel encouraged to make behavioral changes by using empathy and discussing the risks of drug use without forcing or coercing the client to change.
Therapeutic Options: Clients with co-occurring disorders have many different needs. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to drug addiction treatment. Everyone has unique goals, values and perspectives. Integrated treatment involves a custom treatment plan.

Benefits of Long-Term Rehab

Recovery from addiction takes time. If you struggle with addiction, you know you did not become addicted overnight. Perhaps you’ve experienced a past traumatic event and have found solace in drugs or alcohol. Maybe your addiction began with curiosity and over time, grew beyond your control.

We understand there are many causes of addiction, and we believe that long-term recovery involves getting down to the root of the problem. At a long-term drug and alcohol treatment center like Tranquil Shores, counselors will help shed light on self-destructive thinking and behavioral patterns. As a long term rehabilitation center, our entire environment is structured to support this deep, foundational work, giving you the time and space needed to heal. You’ll learn to identify these patterns so you can change them for the better.

If you are debating if long-term rehab is right for you, consider the following benefits:

Allows Time to Heal: Drugs and alcohol take a toll on the mind and body and changes the way one thinks. Like any disease, clients need to monitor their symptoms and make healthy lifestyle choices to heal and manage their disease. A 90-day drug treatment center promotes healthy living, nutritious eating and alternative healing techniques. A strong, healthy mind and body help clients stick to recovery long after they leave rehab. Ultimately, successful long term recovery programs are designed to achieve this holistic healing, which is crucial for life after treatment.

Allows Time to Understand: In rehab, clients get to direct all their energy on themselves, free of distraction and outside obligations. This gives them time to explore the cause of their addiction, seek therapy for co-occurring disorders like depression and anxiety and learn to identify self-destructive behavior and negative thinking. Self-awareness and understanding are critical to long-term recovery.

Provides a Safe Place for Sobriety: While living in a drug-free and alcohol-free environment, clients do not have to worry about encountering negative influences.

Provides Structure and Stability to Nurture Self-Improvement: In an inpatient treatment center, clients have schedules to follow that include therapy meetings, one-on-one counseling sessions and healthy therapeutic activities — not like life outside, where too much free time or stress can trigger substance abuse. This consistent, supportive structure is a core component of what makes a long term rehabilitation center so effective in building new, healthy routines.
Provides Continuous Support: At home, clients might struggle to find the support they need in their darkest moments. Friends and family still must work and fulfill their obligations — they can’t always be there, even if they want to. A long-term rehab center offers around-the-clock support from experienced counselors to provide encouragement or a lend an ear whenever a client needs. Clients also have peers close by to share their struggles, provide support and build healthy, sober relationships.
Teaches Prevention Techniques: Clients cannot stay in rehab for the rest of their lives. At some point, they must re-enter the world and become a contributing member of society. Long-term rehab programs teach relapse prevention techniques to help clients overcome challenges and triggers in the future. While in treatment, clients have time to explore triggers and learn positive coping strategies.
Gives the Opportunity to Repair and Rebuild Relationships: Families of addicted individuals also need attention because addiction impacts everyone involved. A long-term addiction facility provides an opportunity for families and other loved ones to get involved in the recovery process. Long-term treatment programs often offer family therapy options, so clients can work on rebuilding family relationships in a safe and supportive environment. As a result, family members understand addiction better, and clients understand how their addiction impacts the ones they love.
Offers a Range of Therapies: A long-term treatment program gives clients time and space to explore different therapies and find ones that help them the most. For example, a client might benefit from a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy with didactic group therapy over other treatment options. As a client at Tranquil Shores, you will have freedom and guidance to find therapies that promote healing, discovery and resolution for your unique personality and situation. This commitment to personalization is what makes long term recovery programs so effective; they are not a one-size-fits-all solution but a journey tailored to the individual.

The Difference Between Long-Term and Short-Term Drug Rehab

Unlike long-term drug recovery programs, short-term programs usually last around 30 days. Short-term rehabs may be the go-to choice for individuals needing insurance coverage for their treatment, as many insurance policies cover short-term treatment. Also, some individuals cannot stay in a long-term, inpatient drug rehab because of responsibilities at home or work, making short-term treatment their only option.

Although short-term programs might be the best choice for some individuals, short-term treatment usually does not allow enough time to prepare clients for long-term success. Clients often need days or a few weeks to detox their system and cope with the physical discomfort of cleansing their body from drugs or alcohol. Once that stage passes, they can focus with greater clarity and motivation on addressing the underlying issues of their addiction. Short-term rehab cuts the process short and might push a client back into the world before they have had the opportunity to grasp their addiction and relapse prevention strategies.

Is Long-Term Rehab Right for You?

Long-term rehab is an intensely personal experience focused on making your life better. People learn at different rates, so the amount of time you will need in rehab cannot accurately be anticipated. In long-term addiction recovery, you have a chance to dig into the underlying issues that may have precipitated your addiction in the first place. Whether you are looking for help for alcohol abuse or for a drug rehabilitation program, Tranquil Shores works to find the right, personalized approach for your recovery plan.

For many people, rehab becomes a safe, comfortable place where they can exist without worries of relapsing. Extending the time you spend in rehab can help you develop the self-confidence you need to maintain your recovery once you leave the facility.

Taking time out of your life away from work and family can be difficult and provide you with plenty of reasons to resist a long-term rehab program. It can be even more difficult to take 60 or 90 days out of your life for rehab. However, if you complete a shorter program and end up relapsing and going back for another 30 days, you’re spending the same amount of time and not getting the same results.

A more realistic approach to rehab is to plan for up to 90 days. Setting your expectations from the beginning can make it a little easier to face. If you are ready to return home after 30 or 60 days, it will be a bonus. Remember, you invested more time than that in developing your addiction. You cannot expect to overcome the addiction in half the time. Tranquil Shores is prepared to help every step of the way.
