Extended Care Program
It has become the norm to commence recovery from substance use disorders with intensive in-patient treatment. However, this is just the beginning of the journey to sustained recovery.
There is an abundance of research findings supporting the value of early post-treatment and long-term continuing care. Many studies (e.g., Kassani, et al, 2015) have identified the highest rates of relapse occurring early following intensive substance use treatment. Commenting on their findings into methamphetamine use and treatment outcomes Brecht and Herbeck (2015) noted “…the highest rates of relapse occurred early in the post-treatment period, with half…relapsing within six months.” McLellan (2002) argued that for individuals, and society at large, to be fully optimal, “…treatment benefits should be sustained for at least 6 months following discharge for addiction treatment.”
Cedar’s Extended Care Program provides these vital resources through education, therapy, and structure that is designed to facilitate the transition between intensive treatment and community based recovery . In the Extended Care Program participants will meet online five days a week (M-F) to learn, process, and grow together aided by a set of highly qualified Cedars clinicians.
