After Leaving the Safety of Rehab
Prior to leaving the Cirque Lodge, each resident makes preparations. These plans are different depending on the needs of the individual. Some may leave alcohol and drug rehab and promptly enroll into a longer term form of sober living, others may just go back home and begin to work on recovery in a different means. Each resident is prescribed a plan of action and forms of continuing care when they prepare to leave our facilities. Residents work with their primary counselor and with aftercare on creating a plan of action for when they leave the safety of rehab.
Cirque is founded on a 12-step recovery and central to each Continuing Care Plan is an active involvement of working the steps. This includes working with recovery groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and an addiction sponsor. Aftercare is constantly on the phone finding meetings and fellowships for alumni. These fellowships become the supportive recovery environment after alumni leave our facility. There are many different forms of additional outpatient programs, therapies and groups that are available to those in recovery. A Continuing Care Plan provides the graduates of the Cirque Lodge program with the recovery elements they need.
