How to get the Assistance you need after Rehab Part 3

July 14th, 2005 by Terry Keith

I’ll continue today with some more ideas on how to find some great advisors for support in addiction treatment after leaving a drug or alcohol rehab.

Make a Decision

Make a decision and try them out.

If it isnâ??t working for you, give feedback, if itâ??s still not working, find somebody else.

Your goals are too important to be slowed down by working with an advisor who isnâ??t helpful.

Remember to check your hidden agendaâ??s to make sure, you are not sabotaging your plan through changing advisors over and over.

Take five minutes and write down a positive experience you have had with getting professional advice
What made it work for you?
How did you find and choose this person?

Some Issues Need a Specialist

If when going through a drug rehab program you have discovered you need to address some complex emotional issues, you may need the help of a uniquely skilled professional:

Violence and anger management
Experience of abuse
Experience of abusing
Eating disorder
Complex family dysfunction
Communication problems, inability to give or receive feedback

There are some ways to help you decide if the therapist you seek to deal with this is a fit for you and your addiction treatment program you have chosen to follow. The whole point is to continue on with the progress you made in rehab. I’ll go through some of these ideas tomorrow.
