Leaving your home environment and entering a treatment center can cushion you against triggers that negatively encourage your substance abuse.
You can complete your rehab program and avoid relapse more easily if you stay in a controlled facility that is safe and supportive. A residential addiction treatment program provides the best outcome when you have a dual diagnosis, a chronic substance dependency or co-occurring illnesses.
You can begin the first steps to a sober life by taking part in a residential program, but to overcome the challenges of the early stages of addiction recovery, you have to commit to a new life of sobriety. When the inpatient program is complete you will learn how to be more independent and your focus will be on what you would like from your new life.
