5 Step Process Used By Drug Rehab Clinics
(cont.)
• Individual Therapy
▫ Once you are ‘clean’ and do not have any of the drug in your system you will start
individual therapy sessions. This is an opportunity for the counselor to find out
what has led you down the path to drug addiction and how you can avoid
repeating the same mistakes in the future.
▫ Your individual therapy sessions will centre on you and how you can use your
time. The busier you are the less time you will have to think about drugs.
• Group Therapy
▫ Group therapy is usually completed alongside the individual therapy. This is the
time when you can hear about other people’s experience. The idea is to make sure
that you know you are not alone. These people can beat their addiction and with
their support you can too!
• Aftercare
▫ Perhaps the most important stage of the treatment is actually the aftercare. This is
the time when you return to your old life and all the temptations will resurface.
During this stage you will need the support of your family and the staff at your
drug rehab clinic.
