While all treatment centers hope to provide the tools to maintain sobriety, some patients may be more successful than others in their recovery. Malibu rehabilitation has spent time researching and reviewing clients’ experiences to find three things in common with rehabilitation success stories. These tools, when they are included into rehab programs, can give patients a better chance at being successful.
Motivation
Change is something that starts from within and this is especially true in addiction recovery. Motivation is a powerful tool that drives our clients to move forward even when they are struggling with the ups and downs of their journey.
Malibu rehabilitation facilities work hard to help client’s develop their internal motivation through activities designed to cultivate a drive to succeed, so that they accomplish more in recovery. Our therapy sessions include the planning and development of lifestyle choices, hobbies and tools that help them stay sober. Coupled with individual, family and group therapy, these are powerful motivators to build a lifestyle that is more meaningful and satisfying so that they can embrace sobriety.
Time and Consistency
Anything that is difficult but worthwhile will take time to learn. With any goal, it is important to have patience and determination so that you can pick yourself up whenever you stumble. Eventually after enough time, recovery will feel easier and more natural to each patient.
This is why the Malibu rehabilitation facility was built and developed to be like a home: to acknowledge that recovery is a continuous process. It is important to recognize that there may be challenging times and or even relapses. Whatever happens, it’s important to continue with therapy, constantly reviewing and adjusting it based on the current situations.
With time, patience and appropriate treatment, our clients often slowly, but surely meet their treatment goals.
Personal Support Systems
In recovery each patient needs a personal support system which means that their therapy is extremely personalized. At Malibu rehabilitation centers, there are usually a limited number of clients at any one time. This ensures that a team of health care professionals have the time and resources to know each client personally and thus provide treatment that is specific to their needs.
In addition, therapy sessions are available with both family and peers. This allows the clients to build supportive relationships that encourage and empower them to continue treatment and to stay sober.
