Recovery Aftercare Monitoring
What is Aftercare Monitoring?
Recovery 360 Aftercare Monitoring Services is a program where clients are able to use the skills they obtained while in treatment to transition mainstream society while facilitated and supervised by professionals that understand the recovery process. Monitoring is an insurance policy for successful recovery by creating accountability for individuals with addictions.
At Recovery 360, our monitoring program provides individuals with the structure and accountability to help them continue on their path of recovery and sobriety and ease them into their roles and responsibilities of everyday life. Research has shown that success in recovery increases by 80-95% when structure through monitoring is implemented and abstinence success increases to 95%. Through organized contact with clients, we can recognize red flags and provide the needed services to support a client on their path towards recovery.
Why use Aftercare Monitoring?
Although intense, residential and outpatient treatment is effective in helping individuals with addiction begin the process of recovery, it is still a difficult process. Nearly 50% of individuals that complete treatment struggle with recovery and will relapse within the first year following treatment. Often this failure is due to the recovering individual losing motivation to sustain a structured and organized plan for continued sobriety. Our Aftercare Monitoring program will provide the individual with the support and accountability during that critical first year, and beyond.
What does the Aftercare Monitoring program consist of?
At Recovery 360, we offer a complete set of services facilitated by professional counselors that support an individual following treatment as they return to mainstream society. Each client will have an extensive evaluation and assessment that will determine the goals and aspects of their individualized treatment and monitoring services. This plan is fluid and will change and grow with the individual.
