SAN DIEGO, April 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inpatient treatment is the cornerstone of early recovery, yet it is just the beginning of a person’s journey towards freedom from drugs and alcohol. Continuity of care is a critical piece of the recovery puzzle; beginning with detox, inpatient treatment, extended care and eventually, sober living. The philosophy of Orange County Sober Living Homes is based on this concept. They believe clients should continue to receive support, structure and remain accountable during this crucial transitional point between treatment and independent living. Studies have shown that alcoholics and addicts who make the transition from treatment to sober living before going back to independent living have a much higher success rate than those do not.
The fact of the matter is that upon discharge from treatment, alcoholics and addicts need more time! Life for the newly sober individual will not be the same as it was just a few short months ago; the pressures from family, school, work and the real world will require the individual to develop a new and healthy coping skills. Orange County sober living homes support the acquisition of the personalized tools needed to cope with “life on life’s terms” and will allow them the time needed to “practice” them in a safe environment.
Some of the tools they believe are essential to develop during this phase of recovery are; establishing and maintaining membership in a recovery program, working with a sponsor that will guide them in their recovery, acquiring and maintaining gainful employment and/or furthering their education, restoring their physical fitness and healthy nutrition, engaging in recreational activities and having fun, interacting with and developing meaningful relationships with their peers. The time spent at Orange County sober living homes will allow individuals to put these foundation stones in place and continue to build a strong program for living that works!
Every person is different and unique in their own way, especially when they are new in recovery. Some individuals are more independent and self-sufficient while others are less independent and need additional support and structure. At Orange County sober living homes, they have the ability to effectively manage a variety of clients at different places in their recovery. The intimate care environment at Orange County sober living homes allows a highly customizable client experience, based on the client’s unique needs. They offer additional support services upon request in order to adequately meet the needs of each individual.
It is the goal of a sober living home, not only prepare individuals to maintain long term abstinence from drugs and alcohol, but more importantly, to help them develop the tools necessary to live a happy, contended and productive lives in recovery.
