The Client Participated in All Levels of Care and is Thankful to Lead a Sober and Fulfilled Life
After watching his son attend addiction treatment at WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Fort Myers, Anthony cannot thank WhiteSands enough for giving his son the compassion and care while in rehab at the facility. Like all parents, hearing the news of his son’s heroin addiction came with duress and uncertainty, along with thoughts of wondering if he would ever get clean. After an unsuccessful stint in an inpatient facility, Anthony came across WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Fort Myers and knew something different about this place.
“We were so fortunate to find WhiteSands in Fort Myers. From the start, I was so impressed with the communication and compassion that we experienced,” says Anthony.
Our addiction treatment facility has a unique approach to addiction recovery that puts the patient’s well-being and happiness as a primary focus. When patients are comfortable in their environment and don’t feel like they are simply a number, or ‘the next guest,’ they are much more receptive to recovery.
Offering a Full Continuum of Treatment Options
Unlike competitors, WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab offers all levels of care directly on-site, eliminating the hassle and stress of moving to a new facility for each treatment level. WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab and their team of dedicated staff are right by patients’ side throughout the entire recovery journey, providing guidance and care even once they have been discharged from inpatient treatment.
The levels of care offered at WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab include:
- Medically assisted detoxification
- Inpatient treatment
- Intensive outpatient treatment (IOP)
- Partial hospitalization (PHP)
- Aftercare and relapse prevention
- Outreach support
The facility maintains ongoing communication with patients throughout their time in treatment and once they have exited rehab and re-entered day-to-day life.
“They all went above and beyond to keep in communication with us at every step of the way in addition to helping my son with his therapy and recovery,” Anthony states.
When parents and patients are connected and are updated on the status of their loved ones, they experience a peace of mind that no other treatment center can provide.
Quality Help Is a Phone Call Away
It’s important to understand that addiction is a life-long battle, and even though you have successfully completed your treatment program, it doesn’t mean you are cured. Addiction is a disease that can only be managed, not cured, so dedication to sobriety is a critical component in long-lasting sobriety. Since it is also a relapsing disease, you, as a recovering addict, need to understand trigger management techniques and coping skills so that when temptation presents itself, you can navigate the situation. Part of the outpatient program offered through WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Fort Myers includes relapse prevention and life skills, which teach patients how to handle situations that may put their jeopardy at risk.
“If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation that we did, please have your loved one go to WhiteSands,” Anthony urges. “They were, and still are, integral in the ongoing success of my son’s recovery and I am forever grateful.”
