Getting Help, Clean & Sober
Getting help to get clean and sober is the first step to recovery. A substance-dependent person cannot move forward with their recovery until they recognize their dependence, and this is often a difficult hurdle to overcome, particularly by oneself.
The individual may even require an intervention if they do not reach that moment of reflection or realization of their problem. If you or someone you care about has an issue with drugs or alcohol, finding out how to get clean and sober is an important initial step to acheiving long-term recovery success.

Intervention
Addicts are often unaware of the full impact their behavior is having on their own lives and the lives of those around them, even those they are closest to. If they are unable to acknowledge the problem on their own, the responsibility falls to family and friends to help them become aware.
Intervention is the process by which the addicted individual is encouraged to recognize and openly discuss their problems and concerns with loved ones and sometimes a professional interventionist. The ultimate goal of an intervention is for the addict to accept the offer of help and to agree to enter some form of treatment.Staging an intervention is often a vital role in helping someone begin recovery.

Assessment
Assessment is the phase in a substance addiction treatment cycle which allows the patient to identify his or her drug or alcohol usage and the extent to which it is affecting themselves and others upon entering a treatment center.
The assessment lets the treatment center know what kind of drugs or alcohol have been abused and to what degree, as well as any other issues associated with the abuse. It is also a way for the patient to describe his or her abuse history.
To learn more about how assessment can be an important part of a complete road map to sobriety and long-term recovery success, please call us at 1-800-928-9139 today.
Detox
Detox is a challenging but integral part of any drug or alcohol treatment. During detoxification, usage of the drug ceases so that the abused substance can leave the body. This phase can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, and is when the discomfort associated with normal withdrawal symptoms generally occurs.
At this point, the body is re-learning how to function without the substance in its system. Once this step is completed, the addicted person will be well on their way to enjoying a renewed life of sobriety.

Rehab
The rehab phase of addiction treatment focuses on addressing the psychological aspects of the addiction. Before rehabilitation, the physical withdrawal will have been dealt with through detox and attention can now be turned toward healing and preparing for long-term recovery.
Rehabilitation utilizes a combination of individual, group, and family therapy to help the person cope with the emotional aspects of addiction, providing the support and encouragement necessary to make and sustain a healthy renewed lifestyle.

Aftercare
Following rehab, a patient may go to aftercare for continuing support. Aftercare is a group that meets on a weekly basis to discuss how recovery is going. It's a place for the patient to discuss the obstacles, successes and failures of entering the world after rehab.
The support group is a great way to help the patient maintain a distance from drugs or alcohol, while speaking with others who are experiencing similar situations.

Sober Living
Sober living is one of the final steps in completing a substance abuse treatment cycle. The individual learns how to eliminate as many of the addiction triggers as possible and manage those that cannot be avoided.
Unhealthy coping mechanisms can be replaced with more productive behaviors and routines. One of the most important parts of sober living is making sure that you create a support system to help you maintain your new life.

Recovery
Recovery from substance addiction is a process that continues for life. Before a person enters into this stage, he or she must successfully complete the previous phases of substance addiction treatment and be ready to embrace a clean and sober life.
The goal of recovery is to keep the person who has finished treatment busy, focused, and safe. This is why having a recovery plan is necessary. Recovery is a day-to-day process that is about living a life and resolving the problems that arise without using drugs or alcohol.

Relapse Prevention
Understanding what a relapse is, why it is occurring, and the warning signs that a relapse may be imminent, allows the person to take necessary steps to prevent it. Each person experiences different warning signs based on his or her personal relapse triggers.
It is important to identify one's own primary triggers so that you know what to look for. Make sure to have an established support system to turn to for relapse prevention when the signs are looming, whether that's a recovery sponsor, close friends or family. Reaching out at the first signs of a relapse help stay the course to recovery.
