There are many forms of additional treatment and sobriety help for those in recovery. These are laid out in the Continuing Care Plan. Following this plan can be a means to staying focused on recovery efforts. Such a focus can be a foundation against a relapse from occurring.

The central piece to the Continuing Care Plan is continuing to work the 12-step process. Alcohol and drug rehab begins the 12-steps, but only the first few are addressed. When rehab is completed, the individual must voluntarily work at completing the rest of the steps. Help and support are provided through Anonymous based support groups, like NA or AA.

At Cirque Lodge, we can help with all of this. We work with a number of the leading intervention service companies in the United States. We can make recommendations and provide contact information for interventionists. We are also locally affiliated with a detoxification facility.
