Michael’s House Spotlights Extended Care Program for Sober Living

Alcohol recovery center Michael’s House showcased its Extended Care Program this week, providing sober living care to individuals recovering from alcoholism. Located at the center’s scenic Palm Springs campus, the Extended Care Program offers ongoing therapy, social support and a structured environment. With longer stay durations and tailored treatment plans, Michael’s House’s Extended Care Program offerings include individualized therapy sessions, structured activities, transitional planning and social engagement in a safe, sober atmosphere. Following the Foundations Treatment Model, the Extended Care Program offers additional support, treatment stays of longer duration and transitional guidance for those requiring extra therapy and structure before returning home to establish new, sober lives. With personalized treatment programs incorporating nutritional guidance, fitness programs, meditation techniques and trauma therapies, the Extended Care Program also emphasizes aftercare planning, aimed at identifying alcoholism triggers, creation of support networks and planning for relapse prevention. 

“Alcoholism recovery doesn’t end at graduation from a alcohol rehab program,” explained Michael’s House Chief Executive Officer, Krista Gilbert. “Tailored aftercare provides patients with a realistic action plan for sobriety by identifying obstacles, gathering support and forging concrete plans for a sober future.”

As part of its Extended Care Program, Michael’s House also offers intensive support for individuals seeking Dual Diagnosis treatment. Treating a range of co-occurring psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, behavioral and personality disorders, the center’s clinical therapists help patients gain insight and healing as they battle addiction alongside mental health concerns.

“Our aftercare program helps maximize the chances of relapse-free sobriety,” continued Gilbert. “By working with addiction specialists at the close of treatment, patients can make a seamless transition from residential alcohol recovery at Michael’s House to daily sober living at home.”
