Staying Sober After Rehab

Question: How do I Stay Sober After Rehab? Why does it seem that most rehabs fail when it comes to clients leaving and staying sober?”  Jason F., Naples Florida

Answer: Cali Estes Says- ” Drug and alcohol treatment facilities are equipped to help people get sober in a sterile environment. They remove the daily pressures of work, kids, spouse, etc., and allow them to just focus on themselves.  The issue arises when the client returns to the ‘real world’ and tries to handle the stressors of their life without the therapist and staff to run to every time there is a stressor, so the client returns to the drug-seeking behaviors. It becomes a cycle.  They end up right back where they started.
