Programs which provide residential treatment with an additional option in relation to aftercare, with supplemental outpatient addiction rehabilitation services, can be beneficial for certain people in Burt. Examples of this are those people who have not had success at remaining relapse free after completing outpatient treatment or who have relapsed in residential or other programs when no additional aftercare was pursued. Relapse is not uncommon when someone has struggled with a long-term addiction problem, so residential plus outpatient addiction treatment programs 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 facility they are in a very good position to receive the services essential to their recovery from their addiction, and to be able to stay relapse free while they are in rehab. This is not always what happens with outpatient treatment when someone chooses this as a primary treatment method, 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 tremendously less likely for a person who receives aggressive and personalized treatment in a residential facility, and then continues to receive outpatient addiction treatment provided by residential programs who develop a treatment plan that will help them smoothly transition back into the real world. Residential plus outpatient addiction treatment centers help clients develop an aftercare plan that might incorporate continual follow-up visits with counselors who can refer them to services that may help them organize their lives in a way that will promote the clean and sober life they want to live, such as services to help them obtain employment, receive medical and mental services, receive education resources, etc.
