This is a common question recovering addicts will ponder.

HOW WILL PEOPLE TREAT ME?

If you are just getting home from inpatient addiction treatment or going to be coming home soon, then you may be concerned about how people are going to treat you. You are not alone! This is one of the most common worries experienced by recovering addicts. Your loved ones and friends might have a tough time adjusting to your new life.

They may not be sure what to say or think. But that’s why you will need to learn how to let them know what you need from them. You will also need to receive their emotional needs too while they are in this period of adjustment. Read all about what to expect from someone who’s been through it!

 

 

This is actually such an informative site and probably one of the crucial ways to keep people from “slipping through the cracks” once they leave primary care.  The most crucial phase is getting the Addict from Rehab to their first meeting.  If this chain is broken, so is the recovery.

A guide like this is vital to people in recovery and their families. Knowing what to expect and how to proceed is a must and makes life going forward easier for everyone involved. This is essential for anybody that is affected by the recovery process.

I strongly recommend this Recovery Coming Home booklet. When I was told the day before my discharge from rehab, like a seasoned Alcoholic, I was TERRIFIED, so I lied about my condition in order to remain there for longer. Needless to say, they saw through my lies and I was discharged. That is why it is SO necessary, to be equipped with the tools to prepare the patient for the outside world but maybe even more importantly for the patient to be aware as to what to expect from the loved ones when they get home.

CHARLES G

Recovery is one of the most challenging and yet most rewarding parts of my life. This will help guide you through the process and is a brilliant tool for you and your love ones.

BYRON S

Having had the privilege of going through this guide I can honestly say that, after more than 5 years sobriety, this is an honest reflection on what processes I myself had gone through in the program of recovery. The promises reflected are not empty words but has become a reality for me in my everyday life. I strongly recommend this website for all people in early recovery and their loved ones. Honestly written and simple to grasp and understand.

DAWID M

You are more vulnerable leaving rehab and having support and guidance like this once at home is the key to recovery.

SHIONA C

Wow Grigor. This is amazing. Great integration of the tools and such accessibility to the vulnerable recovering addict. Very informative yet completely non-judgemental, and providing the helping hand through personal empathetic connection and empowerment. Well done and much success and blessings with this endeavour.
