What are the four stages of treatment?

The four stages of Alcohol and Drug Rehab Recovery treatment are: Treatment initiation, early abstinence, maintaining abstinence, and advanced recovery. Each stage has different goals and objectives. For example, during treatment initiation, the goal is to get the individual to start abstaining from the addictive substance.

• Treatment initiation involves making the decision to seek help for an addiction. This can be a difficult decision, as it requires admitting that there is a problem. In this stage, the individual begins to engage in treatment and starts to abstain from alcohol and drugs. The individual may also start to experience withdrawal symptoms and may need to detoxify.
• Early abstinence is the next stage, and refers to the period of time immediately after treatment initiation. This is when the individual is working to abstain from drug use. During early abstinence, the goal is to help the individual maintain abstinence. And during advanced recovery, the goal is to help the individual develop a more holistic and healthy lifestyle. In this stage, the individual continues to abstain from alcohol and drugs and starts to develop new coping skills. The individual may also start to experience cravings and may need to continue to detoxify.
• Maintaining abstinence is the next stage, and refers to the period of time after early abstinence. This is when the individual is working to maintain their sobriety. In this stage, the individual continues to abstain from alcohol and drugs and starts to live a sober lifestyle. The individual may also start to experience triggers and may need to continue to work on new coping skills.
• Advanced recovery is the final stage, and refers to the period of time after maintaining abstinence. This is when the individual is working to improve their overall health and wellbeing. In this stage, the individual has successfully abstained from alcohol and drugs and has developed a sober lifestyle. The individual may also start to experience relapses and may need to continue to work on new coping skills and strategies.
