Mini Series 5 - Can you explain why a longer treatment program is recommended?
Manage episode 377032462 series 2582524
In this podcast, we answer the question... Can you explain in more detail why a longer treatment program is recommended?
- Our experience and data clearly show that the odds of clients staying sober for a longer period (five years or more) rise with the length of treatment.
- Said another way, relapses are less likely to happen the longer one stays in some form of treatment, either primary or secondary.
- The fact is that not all clients are the same. They come in with a variety of emotional issues that drive their addiction; each client's issues need to be addressed separately and uniquely.
- The more time that is dedicated to addressing the client's emotional issues, the more likely it is that the secrets that keep them sick will be revealed and, in so doing, deeper healing can begin.
Time can also be seen as a measure of how dedicated the client is to their own recovery, as time dedicated to recovery represents a sacrifice willingly made to achieve a greater goal.
