Why Long-Term Treatment is Essential for Lasting Recovery

Long-Term Treatment: The Benefits of a Minimum 90-Day Residential Program & Year-Long Continuum of Care at Choice House

Overcoming addiction is not a quick fix—it’s a journey that requires time, commitment, and comprehensive support. Research consistently shows that longer stays in residential treatment lead to higher success rates in sustained sobriety. At Choice House in Boulder, CO, we offer a minimum 90-day residential treatment program, followed by a year-long continuum of care to provide men with the structure and support they need to achieve lasting recovery. Many individuals travel from out of state to take advantage of our unique, immersive approach to addiction treatment.

The Importance of a 90-Day Residential Program

The first few months of recovery are critical. Short-term treatment programs may provide a brief period of stability, but true healing requires more than just detox and initial therapy. At Choice House, our 90-day residential treatment offers:

• A structured, distraction-free environment that allows men to focus entirely on their recovery.
• A strong sense of community and brotherhood, fostering deep personal connections that support long-term healing.
• Comprehensive therapy, including trauma-informed care, individual counseling, and group support, all tailored to the unique needs of men in recovery.
• Outdoor adventure therapy, leveraging the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains to enhance physical and emotional well-being.

By staying in treatment for a minimum of 90 days, individuals are given the time to break destructive habits, develop new coping mechanisms, and build the foundation for lifelong sobriety.

Extending Recovery Beyond Residential Treatment

While residential treatment is a crucial first step, addiction recovery does not end at the 90-day mark. That’s why Choice House provides a year-long continuum of care, ensuring that men continue to receive the guidance and support they need even after they transition out of residential treatment. Our extended care program includes:

• Sober living homes, offering a safe and structured environment where men can gradually reintegrate into everyday life.
• Outpatient services, including continued therapy, group counseling, and relapse prevention strategies.
• Career and educational support, helping men find meaningful work, internships, or academic opportunities to rebuild their lives with purpose.
• A strong alumni network, connecting men with a supportive community that fosters long-term accountability and encouragement.
