Why 90-Days?
Addiction is a disease with physical, psychological, spiritual and relational components.
- Just stopping the use of a drug doesn’t teach us anything about how to maintain sobriety.
- It takes time to learn how to use the skills taught in treatment.
- Longer term treatment provides the opportunity to learn and practice these skills.
The 90-Day Program is designed to allow patients to live in a sober community and benefit from structured care so they can practice what they learn about recovery.
The best friend a patient has in treatment is time.

- “Research indicates that for most patients, the threshold of significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment”
