For some women, the transition into recovery can be a challenging process. Although treatment has been completed, it is common for some individuals to experience difficulty coping with their condition. Knowing both early and late recovery requires hard work and dedication, practicing sober living skills can be helpful. It may also be beneficial for one to participate in an all-women’s outpatient recovery program at Renaissance Ranch. Doing so can promote long-term recovery to gain a better quality of life.
The Importance of Maintaining Recovery Strategies
Like treatment, the recovery stage requires ongoing management and steady effort for healthy healing. It is especially crucial for those who do not choose to move forward with aftercare services to incorporate effective strategies in their routine. Sometimes combining sober living skills with outpatient treatment can enhance an individual’s recovery progress. Developing a structured routine can help one stay on track and maintain a normal way of life. Keeping a steady routine can also help one stay dedicated to certain strategies that can promote relapse prevention. Helpful sober living skills include:
- Maintaining a healthy diet
- Getting an adequate amount of sleep
- Creating a strong support network
- Getting daily exercise
- Practicing self-care strategies
- Waking each morning with gratitude
- Engaging in sober activities
- Creating new achievable goals
- Reaching out for help
What Is a Women’s Outpatient Recovery Program?
A typical addiction recovery program involves intense emotional, peer, and professional support. Recovery can be a vulnerable stage for some women as many fear independent living. Not everyone walks into recovery with strong self-esteem and confidence. Depending on the severity of an individual’s condition, one may need or feel more comfortable receiving aftercare support.
Certain triggers can derail one’s recovery progress. Returning to an unhealthy living environment can make it especially difficult for one to manage their condition. Trauma, substance triggers, and unwanted substance exposure can be challenging to cope with. A women’s outpatient recovery program can help an individual maintain mental stability, abstinence from harmful substances, and gain long-term relationships with like-minded individuals.
Research indicates that an outpatient drug-free treatment program generally uses various treatment modalities for ongoing assistance. A typical outpatient treatment program is drug-free. It may provide therapeutic strategies, educational support, and skills training for a helping hand. Outpatient services can continuously address an individual’s specific needs when moving forward from active addiction. An all-women’s outpatient recovery program provides support from female peers for added comfort and consolation.
Breaking Down Different Outpatient Options in a Women’s Outpatient Recovery Program
Diving into aftercare support can be just as overwhelming as the journey to the beginning of addiction and mental health treatment. Although looking at an outpatient recovery program can be stressful, sometimes breaking down different outpatient options can make for a smoother process. Participating in outpatient therapies while still living at home can be a highly convenient option.
Renaissance Ranch’s women’s outpatient recovery program in Burley, Idaho begins with a bridge also called our partial hospitalization program (PHP). The start of the program typically lasts approximately one week. It involves a high structure with a clear and well-organized agenda. A PHP is generally a step down from residential care, allowing an individual to live independently but still receive treatment for many hours a day. Treatment time will gradually decrease depending on one’s overall progress. Every woman at Renaissance Ranch has the potential to gain accountability and emotional support through daily medical check-ins and psychotherapy.
A women’s outpatient recovery program provides each individual with various therapy options to focus on and improve their mental health. Specialists work hard to target mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and more. Different types of outpatient psychotherapy that we at Renaissance Ranch offer include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Motivational enhancement therapy (MET)
- Psycho-educational therapy
- Group psychotherapy
- Recreational therapy
Benefits From Participating in a Women’s Outpatient Recovery Program
After completing residential treatment, many women find great benefits after beginning an eight-month women’s outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program at Renaissance Ranch. Not everyone prefers living in a sober living home. The thought of leaving friends and family behind can also feel gutting. Taking time off work can bring on financial worry and stress. This can bring on further feelings of guilt and shame taking more time off for oneself. An all-women’s outpatient recovery program provides the flexibility needed to continue working on oneself and still maintain a normal way of life. Thus, individuals get to ease into independent living with complete balance.
The women’s outpatient recovery program develops goals for one to learn new coping skills and provides early-stage relapse management. This ensures that an individual receives proper care for their targeted needs. Benefits of participating in outpatient care while in recovery from drugs and alcohol include:
- Accessibility
- Cost-effective
- Maintain employment
- Faith driven
- Less disruptive to daily life
- Ongoing support for working on goals
