Recovery Plan after Rehab
Recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction can take time. After rehab is completed, the impulses to drink or to use are still ever present. It is how the recovering alcoholic/addict utilizes the things they developed in drug rehab that can help them obtain a long term and successful sobriety. The initial months after rehab is completed can be the most critical. The alcoholic/addict must always know they are never alone in their struggles. There are always people to help them. At Cirque Lodge, a plan of action is coordinated and provided to those who have graduated treatment.
There are many recovery elements available to those who have completed rehab and are working towards long term sobriety goals. A Continue Care Plan is created for the graduate of the Cirque Lodge program. This recovery plan consists of additional treatment and care programs available to the client. These efforts are coordinated prior to the resident leaving treatment and are based upon the programs available within the client’s home community. Some recovering individuals benefit from a transition period within a sober living environment, or working through an intensive outpatient program. These things are also coordinated and available after the individual is discharged from the Cirque.
Even with successful treatment and surrounding the individual with recovery programs, relapse is very much a reality. Cirque Lodge residents are granted a Guesting Privilege for dealing with relapse. Before taking that first drug or drink, the client can return to the facility and refocus on the recovery effort. This is a lifetime privilege for those who have remained sober. It is free of charge and offers additional programming and care as a form of relapse prevention. Recovery requires a plan. Residents of the Cirque benefit from an effective recovery plan and privileges that assist throughout the recovery process.
