Sober Living Bali residents are far more likely to stay sober in the first year of sobriety. Rehab is an important part of the path to recovery from addiction, but it shouldn’t be the final step. Treatment for addiction has to continue, and when you live at Sober Living Bali, it does.
Although not a treatment facility, Sober Living Bali encourages ongoing 12 step treatment, which means that residents stay sober after rehab. Research has found that residents at sober living homes are more likely to abstain for longer periods of time than people who go home after rehab.
Contrary to residential treatment centers where individuals are not allowed to leave the property, Sober Living Bali permits and motivates residents to engage in their day-to-day lives.
Residents are encouraged to regularly attend AA or NA meetings, learn a new skill or hobby, participate in house activities, and cultivate their mental, physical and spiritual health. The ability to live in a nurturing and relatable community with like minded people provides a stable foundation during early recovery.
Outside therapy in the form of psychology and psychiatry is readily available at the cost of the provider.
Relapse prevention programs are essential to help you identify high-risk situations that can lead to a relapse and provide you with strategies to respond to these situations in a healthy way. Some common triggers include:
Support Program for Continued Recovery
An eye-opening statistic: 40 to 60% of individuals new to recovery relapse within their first 30 days of leaving an inpatient treatment center. Furthermore, up to 85% relapse within their first year.
Oftentimes individuals in their initial months of recovery will resume their normal day-to-day lives that they lived prior to recovery with the idea that they can continue to live life without using drugs and alcohol.
Unfortunately, this is not possible for many new to recovery. The first year of recovery is especially fragile and meaningful. It is in this time when people build new life patterns and neurological connections. Studies suggest that once an individual is able to maintain at least 12 months of abstinence, their chances of continued long-term success in sobriety dramatically increase.
