Before you jump to hasty conclusions you must be clear about the Science of Addiction and in our opinion the best place to search for this information is

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.

Settings of Care:

All continuing care occurs in the community setting to assist people in adjusting to their day-to-day lives.

Components of Care:

The components of continuing care are very similar to those in rehabilitative care but they typically occur less frequently. Individual, group and family therapy sessions may be scheduled monthly. Some rehabilitation programs offer telephone counseling and support services for people to talk with their former counselors.

Rehabilitation is appropriate for patients who are no longer suffering from the acute physical or emotional effects of recent substance use. Rehabilitation care typically offers an array of treatment components to help to address the many health and social problems associated with substance use.

Settings of Care:

Most rehabilitative care for addiction occurs in specialty “programs” that include the components described above. If a person has very serious substance use and/or a life situation that has gotten so out of control that they cannot become sober even with treatment in their living situation – they should seek residential rehabilitation. Most other, less severe forms of substance use can be rehabilitated in outpatient settings that provide essentially the same components of care.

Methods of Care:

Medications can help reduce craving for drugs and/or help with co-occurring medical or emotional illness. Individual, group and family therapy helps assist with understanding the specific issues that may have led to the addiction and that will have to be faced again following treatment. Assistance and guidance in developing a new drug-free lifestyle are also important parts of rehabilitation.

Duration of Care:

Most residential rehabilitation programs last 21-30 days, 8-12 hours per day. Outpatient rehabilitation programs are typically 60-90 days, where patients spend 2-8 hours per day, 2-5 days per week.

Duration of Care:

Most continuing care programs continue for 6-12 months following completion of rehabilitation. Telephone calls occur semi-weekly during the first month, gradually decreasing to once per month over time and last 10-30 minutes depending upon the recovering person’s needs.

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.
