After Care
Recovering addicts don't have it easy
Inside the small airport of Palm Springs, California, frequented by graduates of the nearby, well-known Betty Ford alcohol and drug rehab treatment center, there is a bar serving wine, beer and other spirits. On top of the bar, on any given night, you will see a large jar filled with plastic sobriety chips awarded to those who have just completed 30 days of treatment at Betty Ford. Why? Because the bar offers two free drinks to anyone who is willing to toss their chip in and undo everything they just spent a month or more accomplishing.
This true story illustrates an important point: the road to recovery is difficult and fraught with peril. The minute someone leaves rehab they are, in a sense, in relapse. Generally, the support and structure of the inpatient rehab is suddenly absent. Completing the initial addiction recovery process is a cakewalk compared to the endless temptations and distractions the recovering addict/alcoholic will face every day after returning home.
Recovery Advocates provides after-care that works
At Recovery Advocates we care deeply about the long-term recovery of our patients and will use every tool at our disposal to help the recovering addict/alcoholic avoid relapse and enjoy a healthy fulfilling life.
This is accomplished through several means, including:
- The Lake House - Our sober living home offers a bucolic, peaceful setting to regain your footing and strengthen your spirit before returning to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
- Neuro-development - The customized neuro-development programs at Recovery Advocates treat the areas of your brain that leave you susceptible to relapse. By treating these areas, and raising the level of the brain's functions in those areas operating sub-optimally, we are able to dramatically reduce the probability of relapse.
- A strong support system - At Recovery Advocates, our patients are like family. Everyone who "graduates" from our program is always welcome back for a "brain tune-up", to share their experiences , or just good old fashioned moral support!
