Treatment facilities which provide residential treatment to clients with an added option in terms of a continuum of care, with additional outpatient substance abuse treatment services, can be helpful for certain recovering addicts in St. Thomas. Examples of this are those people who have not been successful at staying sober without relapse after completing outpatient treatment or who have relapsed in residential or other programs when no further aftercare was provided. Relapse is not uncommon when a person has suffered with a long-term addiction problem, so residential plus outpatient addiction rehabilitation facilities provide a new method which will set someone up for an effective recovery from the start of their rehabilitation until they are completely integrated back into a drug free lifestyle on their own with a support system to encourage this.
When a person is in a residential treatment program they are in a very good position to receive the correct treatment essential to their recovery from their addiction, and to be able to stay drug free while they are in treatment. This is not always what happens with outpatient treatment when the person selects this as the main treatment component, solely due to the fact that they have access to drugs and alcohol if something is triggered and they are not able to get the support they need. Relapse is even less likely for a person who gets personalized and aggressive rehabilitation in a residential program, and then continues to receive outpatient substance abuse treatment provided by residential programs who develop a recovery plan that will help them smoothly transition back into the real world. Residential plus outpatient addiction treatment facilities 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 support the clean and sober life they want to lead, such as services to help them obtain employment, get medical and mental services, receive education resources, etc.
