Individuals with drug or alcohol difficulties who remain engaged in both substance abuse treatment and support groups for a longer period of time have higher success rates. Many people have completed an outpatient or residential program only to relapse and fall back into old patterns afterwards. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, research has shown unequivocally that good outcomes are contingent on adequate lengths of treatment. Research also shows that total participation (including residential and outpatient) in treatment for less than 90 days is of limited or no effectiveness, and treatments lasting significantly longer often are indicated.

It is important that individuals have access to various levels of substance abuse treatment so that they can engage in and remain in treatment that meets their needs. As recovering addicts and alcoholics begin to put the pieces of their lives back together, their needs and schedules change.
