Recovery Assistance, and why it works

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

As was just announced yesterday, we at Assistance in Recovery recently celebrated our 500th Recovery Assistance Program (or RAP) participant. This is a huge step forward in the recovery world; after 60-plus years of people seeking treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, we’ve finally seen a change in how addiction in the long term is being managed. When people first started attending residential treatment centers, they generally would enter a 28 or 30 day program, followed by either outpatient or simply 12-step groups. Nowadays, with the expanding of extended care and sober living homes, we’ve been able to drastically improve the levels of care for clients in need of long term treatment.

But what happens when a client gets out of the safe haven of a treatment center? Besides themselves, and potentially their 12-step groups, there has been very little accountability. We at AiR have developed an amazing solution to this through our Recovery Assistance Program. With clients and families getting an individual case manager who can help the recovering person stay on track, it takes away the need for a family to be the “sober police.” A client can communicate directly with their case manager, ideally providing a safe person for both the family and the recovering individual to speak with when troubles arise. With an intensive collateral contact, featuring connections and support with therapists, psychiatrists, outpatient services, sober living homes and 12 step sponsors, as well as toxicology screenings, we are able to provide a recovering person with that level of accountability, and success, that they wouldn’t get just returning home.

Our goal is to improve treatment outcomes; with the introduction of Recovery Assistance, we’ve been able to see rates of recovery around 84%…a truly amazing figure. We can help guide families through that treacherous time of trying to find resources for their loved one, and help the recovering individual get through the minefield that is early recovery. 500 people have come through our doors so far; with millions of other addicts out there, we can only hope for the number to increase, and seeing more and more people achieve long-term recovery.

AiR Celebrates 500th Recovery Assistance Program Participant

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

In four years, AiR has now helped 500 participants and families improve their recovery.

In 2005, we recognized a serious need for ongoing continuous care and support to individuals in early recovery and their family. Our team of professionals spent a great deal of time studying the industry, rates of recovery and needs – from this, we developed our Recovery Assistance Program (RAP).

Our comprehensive, 1 year program is designed to provide you support and accountability by working one-on-one with a designated case manager. In addition to working with the participant, we will maintain collateral contact with their support team and manage ongoing toxicology screening and reporting. RAP is structured to identify the potential for relapse before it happens, offer peace of mind to parents, significant others and employers, and produce dramatically improved rates of recovery from the 50% average success rate to 84%.

Call us at 877-320-0247 to request a brochure and DVD today.
