A companion during recovery: sober companions can help clients transitioning to and fro... - 3 views

  • The standard 28-day primary treatment program is sufficient for clients entering the recovery process; however, research shows statistically higher success rates for clients who spend additional time in a structured step-down program, such as an extended-care residential facility or 3/4- or 1/2-way transitional house
  • Many clients who have shown positive progress and a sincere desire to remain clean and sober while in treatment have relapsed on the trip home or during the first few days out of treatment.

      The changes a person may experience during treatment might be deeply personal and intense. Considering most treatment settings are probably based in relaxing, safe surroundings, it is not a surprise to me that someone would find themselves struggling as early as the flight back home. I think this is probably common due to the nature of the raw realities a person might face upon leaving treatment in recovery. Lifestyle changes can be pivotal & positive experiences, although, I'm sure they can also be challenging, and quickly regressive if a solid transitional plan is not intact and followed.
