RECOVERY COACHING
Now that your loved one is out of treatment recovery can begin! Treatment teaches the addicted individual and families new skills and behaviors to live life clean but the real world can prove to be challenging.
The first year of recovery is all about change. Coping with new emotions, avoiding triggers and cravings and dealing with the symptoms of post acute withdrawal are just some of the challenges that are unique to the first year.
The FAIR program is a continuing care program for the whole family. It is designed to prevent relapse and to inspire the addicted individual to remain sober and successfully reintegrate into their family with a sober framework.
