Extended Care Stays at Cirque Lodge
A longer stay in alcohol or drug rehab can be advantageous. It gives the individual greater time to work on their recovery in a controlled environment. It can also help with the transition period of getting back to a productive lifestyle. For individuals in need of additional treatment and recovery programming, Cirque Lodge offers extended care stays at our Studio facility. Extended care continues the efforts of the first 30-days of treatment and introduces additional programming for the recovery process.
The first 30-days are carefully structured to help put the disease of addiction into remission. Once the individual begins to make progress in the steps of recovery, they are provided with additional elements of support and fellowship. These involve outside 12-step meetings and working with a sponsor. This can help them to prepare for that transitional stage and working with these recovery efforts on their own after rehab is completed. Extended care also provides a platform for continuing the steps within a rehab setting. The fourth step of recovery can be difficult for some. The caring and controlled environment of Cirque Lodge can be a needed backdrop for making progress in this step.
Many treatment centers are changing their programming to a 90-day treatment stay. Lengthier rehab stays have shown greater success results for some programs. At Cirque, this decision is left up to the resident and their families whether a 60 day or 90 day treatment is needed. Our clinical professionals are more than happy to counsel on extended care and offer advice. A longer treatment stay does give the individual a greater time to work at their recovery with fewer distractions. In can also improve the foundation to a long term commitment to sobriety.
