Aftercare plan is the key to any program.
Imagine walking out of a rehab center, feeling hopeful yet terrified about what comes next. That's the reality for many recovering addicts, and in this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch sits down with Rob Lohman to discuss the immediate risks of relapse following residential treatment. Lohman, an experienced addiction coach and interventionist, dives into why so many people relapse so quickly and what can be done to prevent it.
He emphasizes that sobriety doesn't end when you leave the rehab center; it's a lifelong journey requiring continuous effort and support. One key takeaway from their conversation is the critical role of aftercare plans. Lohman stresses that having a solid aftercare plan is crucial for anyone leaving treatment. This includes ongoing support, whether through therapy, support groups, or other forms of treatment.
He also highlights the importance of family involvement in the recovery process, noting that addiction is a family disease that requires collective healing. Lohman shares his experience with men's groups, pointing out that while these groups can be beneficial, they often discourage vulnerability. He believes that promoting emotional openness in such settings can significantly aid recovery. Fear and isolation are also major hurdles.
Lohman opens up about his own struggles with fear in early recovery, which led him to isolate himself. He underscores the importance of reaching out to recovery professionals and safe houses to combat these feelings. Relationships, particularly marriages, can serve as powerful tools for personal growth during recovery. Lohman encourages individuals to work genuinely on their relationship issues to become better partners and people.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone facing the daunting task of maintaining sobriety post-treatment. From aftercare plans to emotional openness and family involvement, Lohman and Crouch cover it all, offering hope and guidance to those on their recovery journey.
