• Using a support network – attending 12-step programs weekly

Knowing how to handle temptation can be the difference between sobriety and relapse, and WhiteSands can teach patients how to manage cravings effectively.Aftercare and outpatient programs are just as important as inpatient care as they teach patients how to function in everyday civilian life as an addict who is in recovery.
