Support after Drug or Alcohol
Treatment
A valuable asset to those leaving treatment …
Lets
fact
it,
recovery
is
a
difficult
and
sometimes
perilous
process
often
involving
dealing
with
the
sources
of
your
pain
once
you
leave
treatment.
One
of
the
greatest
barriers
to
remaining
substance
free,
is
the
lack
of
professional
support
people
leaving
treatment
have
in
their
own
communities.
Recovery
can
be
viewed
as
a
“process”,
involving
much
more
that
simply
abstinence
from
what
used
to
be
your
drug
of
choice.
Below
are
listed
some
of
the
issues
you
will
face
in
your
recovery process that we are uniquely qualified to help you with.
You
will
need
someone
to
talk
to
about
how
to
deal
with
unresolved
emotional/relational
issues that emerge after you stop using.
You
will
need
support,
encouragement
and
someone
that
you
trust
to
help
you
rebuild
your
life.
You
will
need
access
to
professional
counseling
to
help
resolve
the
issues
that
might
relate
to
abuse or complex trauma you may have experienced.
Early
in
the
COVID-19
crisis
I
began
to
realize
that
government
restrictions
governing
“face
to
face”
interactions
in
walk
in
clinics
and
private
practices
were
likely
going
to
permanently
change
the way mental health services were going to be delivered in the future.
The
need
for
social
distancing
and
other
government
imposed
measures
on
re-starting
a
physical
business
has
unfortunately
created
difficulties
for
those
wanting
access
to
mental
health
services.
In
order
to
reduce
the
risk
of
spreading
COVID-19
and
to
simplify
the
process
of
gaining
access
to
“face
to
face”
counseling,
Erle
has
decided
to
offer
phone
and
internet
support
for
those
leaving
treatment.
This
will
allow
the
client
to
have
access
to
ongoing
support
where
ever there is an internet connection or a phone signal.
In
other
words
Erle
comes
to
you,
rather
than
you
having
to
travel
to
a
private
practice,
pay
parking and battle traffic etc.
