IntroductionTreatment Can Occur in Different Types of SettingsResidential treatment delivers full-time services in a home-like sober environment aimed at learning to apply recovery skills. People can learn about the many forms of addiction and mental illness, and how they can obtain a better life by going through the healing process. Residential treatment may include a detoxification period, and includes group and individual therapy options.
Other less intensive residential treatment options include community housing where a safe living environment is provided, but independence and outside the resident can maintain employment. Therapeutic communities are highly structured residential environments where each person is engaged in activities such as group education, group counseling, and individual therapy sessions. Therapeutic communities use community-imposed consequences and earned privileges as a part of the growth process for each individual.
Outpatient treatment addresses a variety of treatment needs, depending on the level of care required. Outpatient treatment allows the client to return home and maintain a familiar and comfortable lifestyle.

In the past, drug and alcohol treatment programs were funded and managed separately from mental health programs. Over recent years, it has become clear that just as people cannot separate their addictions and mental health conditions, drug and alcohol treatment centers and drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs should not be separated from mental health treatment programs.
