Long-Term Drug Treatment
and Alcohol Addiction Recovery
The intensive addiction
treatment a patient receives at Transitions
Recovery drug treatment center is just the
beginning of addiction recovery. We offer
lifetime aftercare at our drug and alcohol
addiction treatment center in North Miami
Beach, Florida.
Lifetime
Aftercare and Addiction Recovery
It
can be devastating for an individual suffering
from
drug or alcohol addiction and their family
if relapse prevention is not addressed
thoroughly upon completion of a drug treatment
program.
Drug
and alcohol addiction is
a disease. All patients at Transitions
Recovery drug treatment center have access
to lifetime
support in their continuing addiction recovery
and relapse prevention. Our ongoing support provides the long-term
drug treatment that can help ensure you stay
sober and realize the benefits of a full
life without drugs and alcohol. You’ll
experience growth and recovery throughout
all aspects of your life in a lifelong journey.
Addiction
Treatment and Support
Long-term drug treatment increases a patient’s
likelihood of maintaining abstinence and
improves personal growth. Our complete long-term
drug treatment support programs do not end
when primary care is completed. After residential,
day, and outpatient treatment, our professional
staff continues
to support a patient’s addiction recovery
and long-term drug treatment goals. Weekly
activities at our drug and alcohol addiction
treatment center help and support our patients.
Weekly group meetings are led by our experienced
drug treatment and dual
diagnosis team to guide patients
and help them deal with obstacles and day-to-day
issues that arise during long-term drug treatment
and addiction recovery.
Alumni Association
We hold meetings and events for alumni of
our alcohol addiction and drug abuse treatment
programs. These activities provide opportunities
to spend time with others who have also
graduated from programs at our drug treatment
center through structured activities that
include patients, alumni, staff, families,
and the community. Patients enjoy opportunities
to help others and sponsor new patients
at our addiction treatment center.
Transitions
Recovery alcohol addiction and
drug treatment center supports your addiction
recovery every step of the way.
Long-Term
Drug Treatment and Continuing Care
The definition
below from the National Library of Medicine & the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Association (SAMHSA) provides an overview
of the role of aftercare.
“Aftercare,
or continuing care, is the stage following
discharge, when the client
no longer requires services at the intensity
required during primary treatment. A client
is able to function using a self-directed
plan, which includes minimal interaction
with a counselor. Counselor interaction takes
on a monitoring function. Clients continue
to reorient their behavior to the ongoing
reality of a pro-social, sober lifestyle.
Aftercare can occur in a variety of settings,
such as periodic outpatient aftercare, relapse/recovery
groups, 12-Step and self-help groups, and
halfway houses.
Whether individuals completed primary treatment
in a residential or outpatient program, they
have at least some of the skills to maintain
sobriety and begin work on remediating various
areas of their lives. Work is intrapersonal
and interpersonal as well as environmental.
Areas that relate to environmental issues,
such as vocational rehabilitation, finding
employment, and securing safe housing, fall
within the purview of case management.
Because
case managers interact with the client
in the community, they are in a unique
position to see the results of work being
done in aftercare groups and provide perspective
about the client's functioning in the community.
Recent findings suggest that the case management
relationship may be as valuable to the client
during this phase of recovery as that with
the addictions counselor (Siegal et al.,
1997; Godley et al., 1994). Aftercare is
important in completing treatment both from
a funding standpoint (many funders refuse
to pay for aftercare services), as well as
from the client's perspective.”
Our
continuum of care offers alcohol addiction
and drug treatment throughout the entire
recovery process. See Residential
Care,
Day
Treatment,
and Out
Patient Care for more information
on each stage of our drug treatment program.
