There are many people that leave treatment really wantingto be sober but also fearing they may not be able to stick to sobriety andabstinence. They are aware that abstinence was maintained because theywere removed from their familiar environment and relationships, and were housedin a safe, sober environment with extreme monitoring. These patientsrecognize the importance of carrying over as much of the rehab structure asthey can into their old lives when they return home. Aftercare services, suchas remote monitoring devices, support groups, and other sources ofaccountability will greatly increase the chances that these patients willremain sober.Then there are the few who feel overly confident. They report feeling invincible and do not think they need support oncethey leave rehab. Those who fall in this group are thought of as stillbeing in their addictive thoughts. They may have maintained a string ofdays without drinking but they are still in the alcoholic mindset of doing ittheir way. They have not surrendered to help and will most likely rejectfurther accountability and other aftercare services. As a result they havea far greater likelihood of falling into old drinking patterns and even havingtheir drinking patterns accelerate to fatal levels. Additionally, there is the group of patients who haveevery intention of drinking or using once they leave rehab. They havespent a great deal of time thinking about ways of getting around consequencesand plan on doing a better job of hiding their use from whoever put them inrehab- the spouse, the boss, the law. This group would also initially rejectaftercare support if given the choice; however they might be demanded to useaftercare services by their spouse or employer. If a person is going to maintain sobriety,they need to want it for themselves and then must have the tools to help themeffectively change their behaviors. I would say the vast majority of postrehab patients are in the category of wanting to maintain sobriety upondischarge. It has been found that monitoring services greatly decrease the rateof relapse and therefore should be a tool that is incorporated into theiraftercare plan.For more information go to the SOBERINFO blog or SOBERINFO.com
