Valor Health extended residential care campus

Long-Term Rehab

When 30 days was not enough — extended residential care, done right.

For patients with severe addiction, deep trauma histories, complex polysubstance use, or multiple prior treatment episodes, 30 days is often not enough. Long-term residential — 60, 90, or 120 days — gives the brain, body and life the time they actually need to rebuild.

Recovery is not a 28-day project. For many people, it is the most important year of their life — and it deserves real time.

Section 01

Who long-term rehab is for

Long-term residential care is the right level for patients with multiple prior treatment episodes, patients with severe co-occurring conditions, patients with significant trauma histories that require sustained therapeutic work, patients with polysubstance use including stimulants or benzodiazepines, and patients whose home environment is genuinely unsafe to return to in the first 90 days of recovery.

Multiple prior treatment episodes
Severe trauma or PTSD
Polysubstance use (incl. benzos, stimulants)
Unsafe or unstable home environment

Comfortable treatment facility environment

Why time changes outcomes

The brain's reward and stress systems take months — not weeks — to recalibrate after sustained substance use. Trauma processing requires both stabilization and pacing. New habits, new social networks, and new ways of regulating emotion only become durable after consistent daily practice. Research consistently shows treatment episodes of 90+ days produce significantly better one-year outcomes than 30-day programs alone.

Neurobiological recovery takes months
Trauma processing requires pacing
Habits become durable with repetition
90+ day stays improve 1-year outcomes

Section 03

Phased clinical structure

Long-term programs at Valor Health are structured in phases. Phase 1 (weeks 1–4): stabilization, medical care, skills foundation. Phase 2 (weeks 5–8): trauma processing, deeper individual work, family integration. Phase 3 (weeks 9–12): vocational re-engagement, sober living transition, real-life skill practice. Phase 4 (beyond): step-down to PHP, IOP, and alumni — with gradually increasing real-world contact.

Phase 1: stabilization & skills
Phase 2: trauma & depth work
Phase 3: vocational re-entry
Phase 4: gradual step-down

Section 04

Deep trauma work

Long-term care is where the deepest trauma work happens — not because it's the focus from day one, but because trauma processing requires stability first. After the first month, patients who are clinically ready begin EMDR, IFS, or Somatic Experiencing work with a dedicated trauma therapist. This is the work that often determines whether recovery lasts.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Somatic Experiencing
Trauma-stabilization throughout

Vocational and life re-entry preparation

Section 05

Vocational & life re-entry

Months 2 and 3 introduce real-life re-engagement: job-search coaching, financial coaching, legal navigation if needed, gradual family re-entry, sober social network building, and (for some patients) transition to a sober living residence with daytime PHP. The goal is to leave with a recovery-supportive life, not just sobriety.

Cost, insurance & private-pay

Most insurance plans cover 30 to 60 days of residential care when medically necessary; coverage beyond 60 days is reviewed case-by-case. Our utilization review team advocates for the length of stay our clinical team recommends. For patients beyond insurance coverage, we offer transparent private-pay rates and financing options through trusted partners.
