Episode 42 – Advanced Treatment
Some nuggets from this episode
- Advanced treatment provides a bridge from primary treatment to normal living.
- Although the client still benefits from a protective and supportive environment, they gain more freedom and privileges as advanced treatment progresses.
- Advanced treatment can mean remaining in a supportive community for three to six months (or even longer), and this increases the likelihood of long-term recovery from addiction.
