Sober Living: Life After Rehab

It’s Recovery Month, and there are some great opportunities for the public to learn more about addiction treatment and recovery. One of those meetings in Dallas is being hosted by Caron Residential Treatment:  Caron Cares Breakfast Lecture Series.

The focus of this week’s panel is about living a sober life after rehab. There are some great residential programs, places like Caron Texas, where people can go to start their recovery. The next challenge is when they come back to Ft. Worth, Dallas, or Frisco, and have to learn to build those same healthy relationships, find good meetings, start a lifestyle of healthy living with a lot less structure and support. That’s one of the main reasons we started Innovation360. If you forget everything else in this blog, please remember:  drug or alcohol rehab is the beginning of changing a life, not the end. When people come home, they need additional support and structure, especially the first 90 days.

i360′s goal is to help people translate the insights of therapy into actual behaviors. To go from talking about 12-Step meetings, talking about exercising and eating better, talking about finding a job or going to school- to go from talking to doing. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, trying to start exercising regularly, trying to eat better because of high cholesterol- it’s very difficult to change behaviors, and sometimes we need people to help us along for a season.  As an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment clinic that’s what i360 does with its clients.
