Orlando Woman Thanks WhiteSands as Her Father Celebrates Three-Months Sober
Aftercare Programs, Life Skills, and Relapse Prevention are Imperative to Long-Lasting Sobriety
A patient’s daughter at WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Orlando recently celebrated her fathers’ three-month success in remission from addiction after completing addiction treatment at the rehab center.
“He has been doing excellent and has maintained his sobriety for over three months,” Jot states.
WhiteSands Alcohol and Drug Rehab in Orlando has a high success rate for those who sustain their sobriety long-term. This is partly because they provide an attainable and structured aftercare program for each patient when they exit inpatient rehab and re-enter day-to-day life. The efficacy of the facilities’ aftercare programs is evidenced by a high rate of those who sustain their sobriety once they exit treatment and avoid relapse. By implementing trigger management skills, coping mechanisms, and relapse prevention techniques, patients can achieve long-lasting abstinence from substance abuse.
Patients who are most successful in long-term sobriety understand the importance of discipline and routine. When they have structure and guidance, they can lead their lives with purpose while knowing where to turn in times of stress, temptation, and uncertainty.
Transitioning From a Rehab Environment to Normal Life
It’s essential that as a recovering addict, you can recognize temptation and triggers when they present themselves so you can remove yourself from a situation that may end up in relapse. Transitional housing and sober homes are excellent alternatives for those who leave inpatient treatment and are not ready to return to their home environment. These environments provide a nurturing setting that fosters recovery and helps to reinforce positive behaviors.
Some of the benefits of sober homes during outpatient treatment are:
- Provides discipline
- A structured environment
- Consistent guidance and support
- Holds you accountable for your actions, both good and bad
- Aids in creating meaningful, sober friendships
- Teaches imperative life skills
- Fosters independence
- It makes a more seamless transition into everyday civilian life
- Reduces the chance of relapse
“The staff is extremely helpful and the living environment is great. I highly recommend WhiteSands’ outpatient and their sober living house,” says Jot.
