Aftercare and "Peace of Mind" Guarantees
Some facilities offer "peace of mind" to the families sponsoring a loved
one through treatment. Many addicts have tried and failed various traditional religious treatment programs only to relapse, sometimes quickly after release. This can be a
frustrating and heartbreaking experience to a family that just shouldered
the burden of treatment. There are a few long term private care facilities
that do offer "peace of mind" guarantees. Simply stated once the addict has
successfully completed the program should they falter or relapse within the
first six months of release they are eligible for re-admittance at nocharge.
This can be of great value to families and addicts who have relapsed after
completing treatment before.
At some facilities a long term aftercare is suggested, some even offer this in
the form of a "work exchange" program. Which is available to those who feel
that intensive aftercare treatment is the best option. Once the addict has
successfully completed the program and based on their performance during
treatment they are eligible to apply to stay another six months. During
this time they will help other addicts achieve what they have found in
sobriety in exchange for a nominal salary, room and board, and aftercare
treatment in a supportive environment.
These value added services are only available at a limited few private rehab
facilities and have proven to be invaluable to families and addicts. |
