What Is Residential Treatment?
Residential treatment (RTC) is a structured, live-in addiction treatment program where you stay onsite and receive 24/7 care. It allows you to step away from triggers, stress, and daily pressures so you can focus fully on recovery.
At My Time Recovery in Fresno, our residential treatment program provides medical supervision, therapy, mental health support, and relapse prevention planning in a private, home-like setting.
Residential care is ideal if you:
- Cannot stop using on your own
- Have relapsed after outpatient treatment
- Need medical detox
- Have co-occurring mental health conditions
- Need a safe, substance-free environment

Dual Diagnosis Residential Treatment
Many individuals struggling with addiction also experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, or other mental health conditions. Our dual diagnosis residential program treats both substance use and mental health at the same time.
Integrated care includes:
- Psychiatric evaluation
- Medication management
- Trauma-informed therapy
- EMDR therapy
- Behavioral therapies (CBT & DBT)
Treating both conditions together significantly improves long-term outcomes.
Medical Detox and Stabilization
If needed, residential treatment begins with medically supervised detox. Detox helps your body safely withdraw from drugs or alcohol under professional monitoring.
During detox, we provide:
- 24/7 monitoring
- Medication management (when appropriate)
- Withdrawal symptom support
- Safety and stabilization
Detox reduces medical risk and prepares you for full participation in therapy.
Therapies Included in Residential Care
Our evidence-based residential treatment program includes:
Individual psychotherapy
Group therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
EMDR for trauma
Family counseling
Adventure therapy
Yoga, meditation, and fitness
These therapies address the root causes of addiction while helping you build healthy coping skills.
Aftercare and Step-Down Planning
Recovery does not end when residential treatment ends. Before discharge, we create a personalized aftercare plan to support long-term sobriety.
Aftercare options may include:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Evening IOP
- Standard outpatient therapy
- Community recovery support
Step-down care reduces relapse risk and helps you transition back into daily life safely.
