Research shows that addiction treatment of 90 days or more typically generates the most favorable outcomes.
Not everyone with a mild alcohol use disorder or substance use disorder needs a long spell in a drug addiction treatment program, though, and it is not practical for many people to take three months away from professional and financial commitments. If you are interested in getting help for a substance abuse problem and getting started on your recovery journey, reach out to Renaissance Recovery, tell us about your situation and we can offer you the best support possible, which may include a 60-day rehab program.
60-day rehab programs provide largely the same treatment as 30-day rehab programs, except with a greater emphasis placed on preparing for aftercare and relapse prevention.
A two-month stint in rehab can offer an alternative to brief 28-day programs in the following scenarios:
For those with mild and moderate addictions including alcohol and drug abuse.
For those requiring more time in a sober environment than the month-long treatment process provides.
For those without severe co-occurring mental health disorders.

Get Personalized Addiction Care at The Renaissance Recovery
Our rehab centers support men and women struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Renaissance Recovery provides evidence-based treatment across multiple locations across the country, offering compassionate, structured care designed to help individuals build lasting recovery and regain stability in their lives.
Two-month rehab, also known as 60-day rehab, can be delivered in either of the following settings:
60-day inpatient rehab
60-day outpatient rehab
Both modalities deliver intensive substance abuse treatment calling for a significant time commitment. In return, 60-day rehab allows you to build a solid base for sustained recovery, a lifelong process rather than a time-limited event like detox or withdrawal.
60-day residential rehab programs, also called inpatient programs, are the most popular form of two-month treatment program. SAMHSA reports that this form of program accounts for 7% of rehab admissions in the United States.
With residential rehab, you live full-time at the treatment facility for two months, benefiting from around-the-clock access to medical, clinical, and emotional care in a stable sober environment. A two-month inpatient program starts with detox and then moves directly into treatment proper, with individual and group therapy sessions combined with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as appropriate. You will also learn how to transition smoothly to sober living and equip yourself with relapse prevention and management techniques.
Since 60 days can be a challenging commitment for many, 60-day outpatient rehab programs are also available. Here, you can engage with therapy for several hours on weekdays before returning home in the evenings. Outpatient treatment is not only more affordable, but also far less restrictive.
If 60 days prove insufficient for your circumstances, you can extend this form of outpatient treatment, or step down to a less intensive level of care like a regular outpatient program.
60-day outpatient rehab is not the best fit for those with severe addictions or for those with unstable or unsupportive home environments.
What to Expect at a 60-Day Drug Rehab
As highlighted above, 60-day drug rehab or 60-day alcohol rehab can take place in either an inpatient or outpatient setting.
With two-month residential rehab programs, treatment is intensive, but there is also time allotted for supplementary therapies, relaxation techniques, and personal time for journaling or reflecting on the new skills you are learning each day.
A 60-day outpatient program focuses primarily on counseling and psychotherapy sessions, more often in groups than one-to-one.
All addictions are different, but all reputable addiction treatment centers draw from the same proven therapies, including:
MAT: Several FDA-approved medications can help mitigate the intensity of cravings and withdrawal symptoms in cases of both opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. The effectiveness of medication-assisted treatment is enhanced when supplemented by psychosocial interventions.
Psychotherapies: Talk therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are proven effective for treating a range of addictions and mental health conditions. Psychotherapy sessions help you identify and change problematic patterns of thinking and behavior while developing healthier coping mechanisms.
Family therapy: The impact of addiction extends beyond the individual. Family therapy can be an invaluable component of a comprehensive 60-day rehab program, helping rebuild damaged relationships.
Counseling: Counseling allows you to explore the root causes of addiction. Both individual and group counseling sessions are beneficial for most people in recovery.
Benefits of a 60-Day Drug Rehab
Entering a 60-day drug rehab program can be a life-changing experience for individuals seeking recovery from substance abuse.
First and foremost, a 60-day drug rehab provides a comprehensive and structured environment that promotes healing and recovery. It offers a range of evidence-based therapies, including individual counseling, group therapy, and educational sessions, to address the underlying causes of addiction and develop essential coping skills.
Furthermore, the duration of the program allows individuals to immerse themselves fully in the recovery process. It provides ample time for physical and mental healing, as well as the development of new habits and routines. The length of the program also enables participants to form strong connections with peers, fostering a sense of community and support that can be invaluable on the path to recovery.
Moreover, a 60-day drug rehab offers a continuum of care beyond the initial treatment phase. After completing the program, individuals can access ongoing support through aftercare programs, sober living arrangements, and alumni networks, ensuring a smoother transition back into society and reducing the risk of relapse.
While the journey to recovery is not without its challenges, a 60-day drug rehab program provides individuals with the tools, resources, and support necessary to embark on a healthier, substance-free life. By committing to the process and embracing opportunities for growth and self-discovery, individuals can lay the foundation for a brighter and more fulfilling future.

Extremely happy with my time at Renaissance Recovery. I was there for 9 months, and it genuinely changed my life. From the rigorous group settings with an array of facilitators, amazing therapy sessions with Erika, and support of my case manager Ricky, genuinely thank you so much. The staff is very kind. I would say I wish the facility had comfier options for sitting in groups all day, especially for larger folks. But all in all very happy with my time here, well worth it.

The best gift I have ever given myself was choosing to complete long-term treatment at Renaissance Recovery. Clients are exposed to high quality, clinical treatment, balanced with spiritual programming in alignment with the 12 steps. The emphasis on the recovery community is incredibly strong, and the people I surrounded myself with taught me to find joy in my sobriety. Sober Living accommodations were well above average and safe. My life today is unrecognizable from when I first came through their doors, and I reflect on my experience at Renaissance often. Forever grateful for the opportunity they afforded me!
