Extended Residential Alcohol Treatment
Continued treatment in Recovery Resources' Extended Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment facility is determined and recommended for some clients beyond the initial 30 days of Intensive Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment and is based upon the continuous evaluation and assessment process conducted during the first tier of treatment by the client's primary therapist and clinical team. This second tier of the recovery process allows clients to continue to focus on processes that will strengthen and solidify their recovery before returning to their homes. It usually involves an additional 30 days to 6-month stay. Lengths of stay are based on individual needs; recommendations for these extended stays are made by the clinical team most closely related to each client and with total client input and involvement. There are Recovery Resource clients who choose to stay in our Extended Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment program for 6 months to a year in order to increase their chances of success in post-treatment recovery.
At this level of treatment, clients are no longer on full restriction, but continue to live in one of our residential properties where they must meet curfew requirements. In addition, many clients seek part-time jobs or return to interrupted schooling while still receiving half-daily treatment. It is a time when clients begin to build a sober support system outside of the treatment facility by attending daily AA or NA meetings, acquiring a Sponsor, and joining a Home Group.
The third tier of treatment in the Extended Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment program occurs when the clinical team determines that fewer restrictions are required. Although still residing in one of our residences, treatment scheduling will be made flexible and will adapt to job or school requirements, permitting the clients to attend day or evening groups as individual scheduling permits. Continued active involvement in 12-Step recovery is required in this phase.
