Relapse is an all-too-common outcome of the drug rehabilitation process

Relapse is an all-too-common outcome of the drug rehabilitation process. The problem, of course, is that too many treatment facilities put too much emphasis on the short-term successes of their clients. This is an enormous mistake. While it’s important to target and celebrate early milestones on the road to sobriety, the truth is that real recovery is and can only be a long-term process. Any rehab center that fails to recognize as much puts its clients at an enormous disadvantage.


It’s important to note here that long-term healing is always that which occurs from the inside-out. If you’re going to stay sober for good, it’s going to be because you develop the skills and self-control you’ll need to live in the real world without resorting to substance abuse. The best drug treatment facilities, then, are those which empower their clients instead of infantilizing them. In the end, you can only get better if you learn to help yourself.


Sunset Malibu was founded on the principle that recovery is a lifetime undertaking. To that end, Sunset provides its clients with extensive aftercare services, ranging from sober living programs to independent 12 Step support groups. The goal is to give those clients the support they need as they learn to live without using—and the results speak for themselves. For your own sake, make today the day you finally learn the truth on your own terms.
