Drug Rehab is Over,
What Happens Next?
One of the most common questions we are asked when someone finally enters drug and alcohol rehabilitation is ’what happens after rehab?’ This is a question we get equally from loved ones and from the individual themselves.
It can be a relief when a loved one finally enters rehab, finally, there is hope, right?
It can be a natural sequence to then start feeling a new kind of anxiety, a concern about what happens when the person finishes rehab. Can they go back to their old living arrangements? Will they see the same friends? Should they go back to their old work environment?’
Part B
Rehab is part A, leaving rehab and integrating back into the world is part B, no doubt about it.
The answer is contained within the program. It is not enough to just leave life for a few months, to take a bow out for a while. While it can have some good effects by getting out of the environment, it isn't enough to succeed after rehab.
To achieve long-term sobriety, a person needs to recover their integrity, to rehabilitate their goals in life, to get into good communication with his family so that problems can be resolved, TO LEARN WHO THEIR REAL FRIENDS ARE.
During the last phase of the Narconon program, trigger points are discussed, what is going to be best for living arrangements, what possible situations could they be confronted with that could be a danger for the person. As well during the program, we help the individual weed out who is destructive in their life and who is constructive and supportive.
This could all be condensed to one perfect quote.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
We believe that in rehabilitating an individual’s rationality and helping to build their morale, there is a great chance finally to achieve long-term sobriety.
If you would like to find out more about how we help a person reestablish their life and our follow-up services, please call us on 1300 88 7676.
