How Long Does Treatment Last?
Real progress in recovery is not measured in days. It’s measured in behavioral change.

- Milestones over months. Progress isn’t about time – it’s about transformation.
- Four clinical phases, one goal. Deep, lasting change that holds up in real life.
- Ends when the recovery is real. We don’t discharge until the work is done.
