The second phase introduces family involvement and educational treatments. You’ll partake in various recreational therapy, 12-step meetings, and group education.
In phase three, you’ll begin to practice learned behaviors from your previous educational classes. You will assume some leadership in the treatment center and work on an aftercare recovery plan.
Phase four is the aftercare phase. You have the option of living in a sober transitional home or of returning home. They’ll encourage you to attend community 12-step meetings, weekly relapse prevention meetings, anger management workshops, and alumni meetings.
