Unity Recovery Center’s extended care treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction is designed for people new to recovery or those who have had previous difficulties after their completion of an inpatient program.
Extended care can last from 90 days to one year, depending upon the needs of the individual. It’s designed for the newly sober as well as those who have struggled with relapses. We teach living skills and show clients how to put them into practice.
The first three months of recovery are the most important in establishing a clean and sober way of life and the time may be terrifying for some. Our extended care program can make the transition to a new life easier. At Unity, we offer a phased, step down alcohol and drug treatment regimen to assist our clients’ return to the workforce and family environment.
