Therapeutic communities are based on long-term residential treatment. Individual programs differ, but they are generally highly structured and have specific rules. The emphasis is on self-help, with the participants themselves acting as the main agents for change. It is important to note that length of time in treatment is a significant predictor of outcome. Because long-lasting behavior change is the aim, residential stays as long as a year or more might be necessary. Therapeutic communities are often located in areas where external influences are limited, for example, in rural settings.
