YOUR EXPERIENCE AFTER SAHARA WELLNESS CENTER
YOUR EXPERIENCE AFTER SAHARA WELLNESS CENTER
At Sahara Wellness Center the goal of treatment is to create within you the skills and ability to remain clean, sober, and healthy at home – in your life with the people you love and who love you. Our sincerest commitment is to help you maintain your recovery, without relapse, at home. We will go to any length to assist you. As committed as you are to your recovery, so are we.
BEFORE RETURNING HOME
Before you return home, you will work with your personal healthcare team to uncover the triggers and difficult situations or people that are most likely to cause you to want to relapse. You will also create contingency plans for unexpected situations. You will have a list of people to call and actions you can take when you become uncomfortable. We use your time in treatment to create an aftercare plan that will help you to work through difficult situations or interactions. If you stay in treatment until you are discharged, you will find upon returning home that the work you have done with your personal healthcare team will enable you to face and overcome problems that previously would have triggered prior behaviour.
YOUR AFTERCARE PLAN
This is the plan that your health care team will put together with you to create the opportunity for success in life after treatment. This plan is completely individualized to match your personal needs. We make sure that you have the designated resources and support to ensure continued recovery success. For example all residents will need access to a well-trained, caring psychotherapist to continue the intensive psychotherapeutic work that was begun at Sahara Wellness Center. If you have developed a strong affinity for or been helped by particular adjunctive therapies such as yoga, reiki, meditation we will help you to find those resources in your hometown too. No matter what your needs, we will help you find all the resources and support you require to maintain your recovery after treatment.
GOING HOME AND CONTINUATION OF CARE
Returning home can be an anxiety-filled experience. Even though you will be fully prepared to face life and remain sober if you stay through your program with us, life feels “different” after treatment. There are a lot of firsts. You will deal with people in a different, more meaningful way, being fully present and engaged in relationships. In addition to the support you will receive from those professionals overseeing your aftercare plan, we have a personalized CONTINUATION OF CARE program to help you overcome unforeseen obstacles that come up in your path. Continuation of Care will consist of check ins with your designated Sahara Wellness Center healthcare professional. The timeline of check ins will be personalized for your needs to ensure your health and recovery is kept on track. Clients may also choose to continue to see a Sahara Wellness Center healthcare professional privately if they choose to do so. You are not alone. The Sahara Wellness Center team will do whatever we can to help you create the life you want for yourself upon your return home.
AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP
Your relationship with Sahara Wellness Center does not end when your treatment program ends.
