After addiction treatment is completed at Cirque Lodge, Sundance Utah, drug rehab aftercare is provided to each client to continue the recovery process.

Aftercare is provided to residents to help them take full advantage of the outpatient recovery programs that are available. These aftercare efforts are coordinated into a Continuing Care Plan for clients. This plan is based according to client needs for furthering their recovery with intensive therapies and support.

12-Steps and Aftercare

Cirque Lodge, like many treatment facilities, is modeled after the 12-step program. The 12-step method is a storied approach to handling alcohol and drug addiction issues. The 12-step method developed by Alcoholics Anonymous has been used for the past 70 for developing effective recovery skills. A drug rehab program adapts the 12-step modality and uses it as a foundation for the entire recovery process. The 12-step program is a step by step process of finding a higher power, getting help from this power and others, helping overcome the personal things yourself, and finally helping others achieve the same. It is an effective approach of both healing and outpatient support programs.

The entire 12-step process is not achieved as a resident of rehab. Usually the process allows time to achieve the first three steps of the 12-step process. Treatment is designed to help the individual come to terms with addiction and to establish a connection with a higher power. The all encompassing step is that first step of the 12-step process, to find a power greater than one's self. For the clients of Cirque Lodge in need of extended care treatment, the 12-step process is extended into additional steps during the drug rehab program. The process of the 12-steps is continued after treatment through aftercare.

The 12-step program is continued in drug rehab aftercare. Once a solid foundation of the first few steps is established, continuing the 12-step process is made available by the help of support groups and outpatient 12-step meetings. These meetings and programs after addiction treatment can become a vital crutch to the recovery process. At Cirque Lodge, we provide these services for our clients through aftercare.

Support in Drug Rehab Aftercare

Aftercare consists of a number of things. The basic component of aftercare programs is support from others in recovery. Support groups are a vital crutch for the recovery process. For some individuals, after rehab, they are exposed to the same influences and situations that lead them to addiction before they entered treatment. Aftercare is needed for these individuals, so that they can continue in sober practices. When the individual is surrounded by proper means of support, recovery becomes easier. Cirque Lodge provides specific drug rehab support for the client's area on need. We are not going to send someone recovering from cocaine to an Alcoholics Anonymous program. We focus on finding the best support groups for the graduates of our drug rehab program. Locally, the Cirque Lodge Studio facility is home to many of these support meetings and programs.

Support groups can vary, but the majority of them appoint addiction sponsors. An addiction sponsor is a personal support in a one-on-one environment. A sponsor is ideal for dealing with situations where the individual in recovery may be tempted to relapse. A sponsor is someone who has worked the 12-steps and achieved successful recovery. As a part of the recovery process, a sponsor is available to help others achieve success in sobriety. At Cirque Lodge, a part of drug rehab extended care is support groups and an appointed addiction sponsor. Upon completion of addiction treatment, a sponsor is a vital part of drug rehab aftercare.

For some individuals, the recovery process is just too hard when they are exposed to the usual elements that trigger alcohol and drug use. For these individuals the best response is with a sober living environment for the first months of recovery on ones own. Aftercare is provided for the client in the area they so choose to live. So if the individual in recovery desires a sober living environment, aftercare will find them programs in the area they so choose to reside. The purpose is to provide all the proper means of support for a successful recovery.
