Life After Treatment: Supporting Your Loved One's Journey to Sobriety

Offering a safe environment is key, I think: if they go out and relapse, that's on them, it's not on you, and you shouldn't try and prevent a relapse by going back into all those things that you used to do exactly.
When someone you care about returns from treatment, the road ahead can feel uncertain. Do you carry on as before, or do you need to make changes? In this episode of 'Prevent This!', hosts Ashleigh, Sandi, and Katie tackle these pressing questions head-on. Drawing from their own experiences, they offer practical advice on how to support a loved one after treatment. They emphasize the importance of creating a safe environment while allowing the individual to take responsibility for their sobriety.
The trio discusses setting clear expectations, establishing boundaries, and the benefits of seeking outside resources like transitional housing or step-down programs. Communication within the family is highlighted as a crucial element in preventing relapse. With heartfelt anecdotes and expert tips, this episode provides a roadmap for anyone navigating the complexities of post-treatment life with a loved one. Tune in to gain valuable insights and support your loved one's journey to recovery.
