Treatment facilities that offer residential treatment with an additional option in relation to continuum of care, with supplemental outpatient addiction rehabilitation services, can be ideal for some recovering addicts in Guin. Examples of this are those who have not been successful at remaining sober without relapse following outpatient treatment or who have relapsed in residential or other programs when no additional continuum of care was provided. Relapse is not uncommon when a person has suffered with a chronic long-term addiction problem, so residential plus outpatient substance abuse rehabilitation facilities provide a new method which will set someone up for an effective recovery from the beginning of their rehabilitation until they are entirely amalgamated back into a drug free lifestyle on their own with a support system to encourage this.
When someone is in a residential treatment program they are in a much better position to receive the correct treatment vital to their recovery, and to be able to remain relapse free while they are in treatment. This is not always what happens with outpatient treatment when the person chooses this as a main treatment component, simply because they have access to drugs and alcohol if something is triggered and they are not able to get the support they need. Relapse is tremendously less likely for a person who receives personalized and aggressive treatment in a residential program, and then continues to be involved in outpatient substance abuse treatment provided by residential programs who devise a recovery plan that will help them smoothly transition back into drug free life. Residential plus outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs help clients devise an aftercare plan that may incorporate frequent follow-up visits with counselors who can refer them to services that may help them establish their lives in a manner that will encourage the sober life they want to live, such as services to help them establish employment, receive medical and mental services, receive education resources, etc.
