What are the benefits of long term drug treatment?

Most addicts and alcoholics including myself never want to spend very long in drug treatment. That is the sickness of our disease; it tells us we don’t need help and if we start to feel better even in the slightest sense of the word we think we are cured. The addict and alcoholic never truly has a full understanding of their disease until they have gotten some significant clean time and even then the worst could happen and they could fall back into old patterns of thinking and end up relapsing. This is why if it is at all possible an addict or alcoholic should attend long term drug treatment. Staying 28 days just doesn’t cut it.

The Palm Partners Guarantee and benefit of long term drug treatment

1. Provided the individual has been in a Residential Treatment Facility for a full 90 days of residential care, and then is compliant with the Recovery Coaching Program for a full year after that, if such an individual relapses they may return for treatment at the same facility for a thirty day relapse prevention program free of charge.

Benefits of long term drug treatment

Of course any and all drug treatment centers have benefits with a lengthier stay. Some other benefits of long term drug treatment are that it keeps you safe for a longer amount of time and allows you to learn more about yourself while also preparing yourself for going back to your life. Believe it or not while it may seem 30 days are sufficient (and it could be for some) you are still running a high risk of not staying sober. Thirty days is not a lot of time, even though for the addict and alcoholic it may feel like forever. The body, mind and spirit needs time to heal and the longer you allow that happen the better your chances of success and at achieving the ultimate goal of lifelong sobriety as well as happiness. Palm Partners offers the real benefits of staying 90 days by offering the guarantee also. Staying connected with the drug treatment center through coaching and counseling for a year after giving yourself 90 days to clear your mind and body is a great recipe for success and one the greatest if not most life changing benefits of long term drug treatment.
