TREATMENT OF ADDICTION
3.
Continuing Care
The
first 3-6 months following addiction treatment is the period of greatest
vulnerability to relapse. Consequently,
continuing care services are designed to monitor the emotional health of
recovering people, remind them of their commitment to lifestyle change and
support their needs as they attempt the difficult job of living their former
lives with a new perspective and resolve.
Desired results:
The
goals of continuing care are exactly those of rehabilitation. Effective continuing care will help a
recovering person to self manage the recurrent occasions of temptation and
craving and as importantly, develop an enjoyable, fulfilling life.
