Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Tempe, AZ

Staying clean and sober after you leave a recovery program may be one of the greatest challenges of your life.

Addictive behavior, by its nature, sets up a pattern of distrust as the addict lies, cheats or steals in order to pursue his drug of choice. Under the influence of drugs and alcohol, parents can be physically, emotionally and verbally abusive to spouses and children. In many cases, the addict first enrolls in a Tempe drug treatment center as a result of a family intervention.

But completing a rehabilitation program can't instantly repair the damage caused by years of substance abuse. In fact, many divorces take place during the recovery period, when spouses feel that they no longer have to act as the caretaker for an addicted husband or wife. Some spouses take advantage of the rehabilitation period to get their children out of the home and initiate a separation in order to avoid further violence. Dealing with the emotional challenges of the post-rehab period may be one of the most difficult phases of the recovery process.

According to the Center on Addiction and the Family, the risk of alcoholism and addiction among the children of addicts is up to four times higher than the general population.

When you leave a Tempe treatment center, the journey to long-term sobriety is just beginning. Over the years, you'll face many stressful situations, such as divorce, the death of a loved one or sudden unemployment. Learning how to react to these situations without turning back to drugs or alcohol will make you a stronger, more resilient person.
