What Are Therapeutic Communities? Therapeutic communities (TCs) are a common form of long-term residential treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs).

Some such groups evolved into self-supporting and democratically run residences to support abstinence and recovery from drug use (Sacks & Sacks, 2010).
