Sober Living Is At The Continuum Of Addictions Care
The sober living program lasts 6-12 months. However, the recovery process takes a lifetime.
Recovery addicts can keep on track with treatment by having a “continuum of care”. According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, this model can be broken into levels.
- Level 0.5: Early intervention services
- Level 1: Outpatient services
- Level 2: Specialized outpatient and partial hospitalization services
- Level 3: Residential and Inpatient Treatments
- Level 4: Medically Managed Inpatient Care Services
Higher levels are indicative of a more serious addiction that could be potentially fatal. As an individual approaches early recovery, the intensity of their addiction will decline.
It is the first step in the continuum. It is part of the early stages and precedes a person’s journey to total sobriety.
