Sober Living Programs – The Right
Level of Care
 Friendly care during recovery
 There are different levels of care available for recovering addicts. The right one for you
depends on your individual situation and needs. This depends on how much, how long
and how often you have been drinking or drugging. In addition, other factors such as
gender, age, mental status and health condition can also play a part in determining the
type of care that you should have. As you look for the right sober living programs, you
should choose amongst the friendly care programs available.
 Professional Intervention
 An Interventionist is a profession who determines the right level of care for addicts.
Consultations can either be done on phone or over the internet. Whichever way it goes, the
interventionist helps both the addict and his family cope with the stresses of recovery.
Also, the interventionist has the necessary skills to help clients beat addiction. However,
long term treatment requires a better plan that goes beyond the initial treatment program.
 Detox through medication
 Most sober living programs use drugs detox to help addicts beat addiction. Rehab centers
have a professional doctor who specializes in addictionology. The doctor does all he can to
improve the health and performance of addicts through the right medication and
treatments. However, this kind of treatment is ideal for hardcore addicts who have had a
drinking or drug abuse problem for a long period of time. However, Self detox is not
advised as it has many side effects on patients.
