Fast Facts:

Of all individuals discharged from treatment, more than half will resume alcohol and/or drug use in the following 12 months, and 50% will be re-admitted to addiction treatment within two to five years. (SAMHSA-OAS, 2007)

A continuum of care that includes a customized treatment regimen, addressing all aspects of an individual’s life… and follow-up options (e.g., community or family based recovery support systems) can be crucial to a person’s success in achieving and maintaining a drug/ alcohol-free lifestyle.
