Residential long-term treatment in Mattaponi is when measured by statistics the most successful rehabilitation program and strategy when speaking of success rates when taking into account long-term abstinence once treatment is complete. Residential long-term treatment gives the person in treatment a true oasis. In residential long-term treatment the individual can take part in treatment activities in a secure and distraction free facility where there is very little that might cut across their success or progress while in alcohol and drug rehab. The long-term aspect is in essence what will ensure the individual is assured and secure enough to be able to continue to remain abstinent when they leave drug rehabilitation in Mattaponi, because one month is most often simply insufficient time in alcohol and drug rehab for seriously addicted clients. It can take several weeks to achieve the confidence that one can stay abstinent, with a comprehensive and intense length of time spent in treatment in a residential program.
