What Are Your Chances of Staying Sober After Alcohol Rehab?

man thinking about how he is sober after alcohol rehab

When you complete an alcohol addiction treatment program, does it mean you’re cured and will stay sober for the rest of your life? While addiction treatment is necessary to manage addictive behaviors, addiction is a chronic disease, which means there’s no cure. There’s just the continuous management of your mental health so you can avoid relapsing. Developing a substance use disorder means you’ll always face a unique and difficult set of challenges, even when you’re already walking the path to recovery. There are a variety of treatment programs that can help with addiction recovery.

At Rockland Recovery, our team provides an alcohol addiction treatment program that gives people the best chance of overcoming alcohol addiction for years to come. Contact Rockland Recovery by calling 855.732.4842 or reaching out to our team online for more information about our alcohol addiction treatment in Massachusetts.

Signs That You Need Alcohol Rehab

If your relationships and the way you normally live your life are being negatively affected by your use of addictive substances, then you probably have an addiction. However, addiction is often diagnosed on a spectrum. The eleven criteria for addiction can help you determine if your addiction is mild, moderate, or severe.

There are criteria that you should watch out for, such as:

  • Cravings
  • Dangerous use
  • Desire to quit but unable to do so
  • Lack of control
  • Loss of interest
  • Problems with relationships
  • Spending a lot of time trying to get the addictive substance
  • Tolerance
  • Withdrawal symptoms
  • Worsening situations

The severity is determined by how many criteria you meet. For example, if two to three of the criteria apply to you, that means you might have a substance use disorder. This applies to any type of addiction, whether it’s related to alcohol or illicit drugs. No matter what the severity of your condition is, though, you should seek professional help to get back on the right track.

How Effective Is Alcohol Rehab?

It’s difficult to determine an exact success rate for addiction treatment programs. There’s no guarantee of success, but without beginning treatment, there is no chance for recovery. Far too many people don’t take that first step. Many addiction treatment programs claim high success rates and base them on data about program completion, recovery rates immediately following treatment, client interviews, and other internal studies. Assessing sobriety rates immediately after treatment, at the very least, is problematic because many people eventually end up relapsing.

It’s estimated that one out of every three people who complete an alcohol or drug addiction treatment program will remain sober. Relapse rates decrease the further clients get in their customized treatment programs.
