Who Can Benefit from Extended Care Treatment?
Typically anyone struggling with addiction is welcome to sign up for extended rehabilitation services. Signing up for this type of program is a great way to ensure long-term recovery as it will allow individuals to build on new life skills, develop sober social networks, and take more time healing from past traumas. However, individuals with the following characteristics are generally encouraged to enroll in longer care programs because they are considered ‘high risk’, which can lead to overdose and untimely death. These attributes include:
- Severe risk of withdrawal symptoms
- Co-occurring medical conditions
- Co-occurring mental health disorders
- Lack of success in shorter, or outpatient, addiction care programs
- Unstable or unhealthy home environment
