Rehabilitation Center
for Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Rehabilitation centers for drug & alcohol addiction or transitional sober living housing, CAP is an important tool which can assist in the process of identifying and transforming those emotional triggers that prompt additive behavior during initial treatment and recovery. It creates a safe and supportive environment conducive to optimum healing and offers a very personali- zed treatment program to address the specific addiction and any co-existing issues associa- ted with the disorder. By uncovering the underlying causes to long-term alcohol and drug use, the CAP process lends support to patients with overcoming emotional issues that may have preceded the addiction. Blending the cathartic process with other therapies during addiction treatment helps one to remain in and complete the program so that they have a better chan- ce of staying clean and sober. It raises the chances for effective recovery and the successful re-entry into society. Lastly, CAP is a perfect method to encourage patients to continue group therapy as part of their ongoing recovery plan.
