Extended Alcohol and Drug Rehab Stays
A Primary Care stay at Cirque Lodge is 30-days. However, this may not be enough time in a treatment environment. Residents can continue their addiction treatment for an Extended Care stay. Studies have shown that a 60-day or 90-day program is more effective for overcoming addiction. (A lot of drug rehab centers are changing their programs to a 90-day treatment). Alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge consists of 30-day treatment programs. Prior to completing primary care, addiction counselors may suggest additional time is needed before leaving the facility. Some individuals simply are not prepared for the recovery process.
Extended care at Cirque Lodge is a forward approach to continuing the recovery process. Extended treatment stays take place at our Studio facility. Residents in extended treatment also have additional efforts, and programs offered them than those in a Primary stay. They are allowed to obtain passes to go out and work with an addiction sponsor and outside 12-step meetings. Primary Care focuses on the first three steps of 12-step recovery. Residents in Extended Care work on additional steps during their stay. All of this is still based upon the personalized treatment plan of the individual.
Whether it is a primary or an extended stay, the residents are provided a Continuing Care Plan (CCP) when they are discharged. This plan is filled with additional therapy and support elements for after alcohol and drug rehab. Residents may require additional therapy. They can feel more comfortable spending the first few months in a sober living environment. These elements are a part of the CCP. This plan is based on the individual needs of the residents. Our counselors and aftercare staff work with each resident in preparing the right CCP for their needs.
