After Alcohol Treatment is Completed
Residents suffering from an addiction to alcohol are treated to the very best in alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge. Once alcohol treatment is completed, however, they are again faced with many of the problems and triggers that have led to the drinking problem. Prior to leaving Cirque Lodge, each resident works with our aftercare staff in preparing a plan for the recovery process. Successful recovery takes a lot of effort and a personal commitment. The aftercare plan provides measures of additional help, therapy and support. These can be needed tools for the recovery process.
There are many of measures of help and support available to those who have recently completed an alcohol treatment program. For some, it is most advantageous to enroll in a sober living environment for a time. There are also counseling services and independent addiction therapists available to help individuals in recovery. Locally, Cirque Lodge offers an aftercare group for those who remain close to the facility. Those in recovery must understand they are never alone in their addiction. There is always help and support available.
Central to the Continuing Care Plan and a successful recovery is actively continuing the steps of the 12-step process. There are 12-step fellowships and Anonymous based recovery groups in virtually every community. They help those freshly in recovery with a surround of fellowship and support, and also provide them a sponsor to work with. Continued involvement and work at the 12-step process has helped millions find solutions for a lasting recovery. As said earlier, it is a process, it takes effort and isn’t always easy. However, active involvement in these types of recovery programs can be an influential piece in dealing with the drinking problem and long term sobriety.
