Research shows that recovery homes extend sobriety and positive outcomes in recovery from drugs and alcohol. The most complex challenge after completing detox or inpatient rehab for drug and alcohol abuse is transitioning back to family and society. Loved ones are unsure and skeptical of a recent rehab graduate. Unfortunately, excessive attention or trying to safeguard someone’s recovery may not be ideal for someone’s journey. At La Jolla Recovery, we recommend long-term care, including outpatient rehab and when needed and clinically supervised, medication assisted treatment can support detoxification and improve outcomes.
Further, many clients and loved ones may appreciate the safety that can come with alcohol and drug-free housing. If interested, our staff may suggest local recovery homes for continuity of safety and peer support while offering trust and comfort. The family or loved ones can acclimate to the transition back home. Mentoring and accountability are possible by providing a safeguard through recovery housing and supervision.
Recovery homes have effectively created a safe and structured environment where shared schedules and drug and alcohol testing is routine. This makes it comfortable and stable for someone who recently left rehabilitation treatment for drugs and alcohol as a first step into an alcohol and drug-free environment. In these cases, recovery homes become a space where a client can socialize with peers with the same level of accountability, attend support groups and create healthy bonds. Family or loved ones can visit when it is advised or adequate. This is key for each other well being.
The transition back to family is done at a pace where the family, employer, or loved one is at peace with the client and can be done gradually. It also allows both parties to vent, communicate and support each other back to reintegration.
La Jolla Recovery supervises and gives insight into best practices to educate loved ones and prepare alumni for the next steps. A positive psychology approach is possible, and adherence to the values and structure can continue. La Jolla Recovery also recommends extended care with sober living to sustain sobriety. This makes recovery homes more efficient by extending it with sober living. This is a favorable option if meeting the needs of a client.
