Residential rehab means living at the facility while you get treatment, with structure, counseling, and support available day and night. Getting away from the people and places tied to using is often half the point, which is why residential care is the standard recommendation for more severe addiction.
In Chicago, residential programs commonly run 30 to 90 days and combine individual counseling, group therapy, and relapse prevention planning, with a step down to outpatient care afterward. Of Chicago's 93 rehab centers, 20 offer a residential setting.
