The residential treatment program is employed for those drug addiction patients who are not responsive to other forms of treatment. This is definitely the strongest form of addiction treatment in Oregon and it addresses several issues apart from just medical rehab of the patient. The following kinds of people in Oregon may be put into a residential addiction treatment program in Oregon.

• People who have used other modes of addiction treatment but have relapsed into addiction
• People who have hit bottom with their addiction
• People who have been found guilty of criminal offenses due to their alcohol or drug addiction
• People who are in a very advanced state of addiction with or without health problems
• People who have mental complications that may impede other forms of addiction treatment.

Since the residential addiction treatment program is considered to be the last resort for a person to come out of addiction in the state of Oregon, it is not surprising that no stone is left unturned to make this mode of treatment a success. The program includes a pretreatment analysis of the condition of the patient, then a detox program, then an aftercare counseling therapy in both the individual and the group format and maintenance medication. But more important than that is allowing the person to stay in a community like setting with other people who are also into the addiction. Voluntary residential drug addiction treatment in Oregon could be as short as three months, but for people who have been ordered by law to get into addiction treatment, the program could go on from six months to a year.
