Living At Home During Treatment

Some people find it challenging to live at home during treatment. It can be hard to live substance-free when you’re in the same environment where you abused drugs or alcohol. Traveling for treatment often means living at a residential facility, which gives you a fresh start to focus on recovery.

Leaving home also gives you more options. Rather than settling for the limited programs in your town or county, you can compare rehab centers across the country and find one that best fits your needs. A treatment program is an important step toward recovery, and choosing the right one can make all the difference.
