Stepping Forward with Extended Care
Overcoming alcohol and drug addiction takes time. For some, it takes more time than others, and still some others may require more personalized care to overcome the struggle. Cirque Lodge gives drug rehab clients a number of options. Not only is the addiction treatment program personalized to provide the most effective results, but the length of stay is also personalized. For clients in need of additional treatment, Cirque Lodge offers an extended care program at the Studio.
The extended care program at Cirque Lodge is a proactive approach to continued sobriety. Instead of reworking the steps of the 30-day program, addiction treatment is taken to the next stage of the recovery process. This includes working additional steps of the 12-step program, which builds a more solid foundation for recovery. A part of working additional steps is the involvement of outside meetings, and working with an addiction sponsor. The 12-step program is oftentimes the working tool required for a life of continued sobriety. Experiential activities are also a part of extended care, as well as some community and service activities. These things continue to replace the negative feelings caused by addiction with positive and constructive avenues of productive living.
Whether the drug rehab client requires extended care is left up to the individual. Studies have shown that additional time in treatment programs yields a beneficial result. Drug rehab clients at Cirque Lodge will be counseled on whether more time is needed or not, but ultimately the decision comes down to the client and their family. Through extended care clients can continue to work through successful recovery in a private and safe environment.
