Rehab centers which offer residential treatment with an added option in relation to continuum of care, with supplemental outpatient substance abuse rehabilitation services, can be perfect for certain people in Colp. Examples of this are those people who have not had success at staying relapse free following outpatient treatment or those who have relapsed in residential or other inpatient programs when no additional continuum of care was done. Relapse is not uncommon when a person has struggled with a chronic long-term addiction problem, so residential plus outpatient substance abuse treatment facilities offer a new method which will increase the chances for an effective recovery from the start of their treatment until they are entirely amalgamated back into a drug free lifestyle with a support system to encourage this.
When a person is in a residential rehabilitation center they are in a much better position to receive the correct treatment essential to their recovery, and to be able to stay drug free while they are in treatment. This is not always the outcome with outpatient treatment when the person chooses this as the primary treatment component, simply because they have access to drugs and alcohol if something is triggered and they are not in a position to receive the support they need. Relapse is even less likely for a person who receives aggressive and personalized rehabilitation in a residential facility, and then continues to be involved in outpatient addiction treatment provided by residential programs who construct a treatment plan that will help them easily transition back into drug free life. Residential plus outpatient addiction treatment facilities help clients develop an aftercare plan that might incorporate regular 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 obtain employment, get medical and mental services, receive education resources, etc.
