Post-treatment program

Transition group

The Transition Group is an outpatient program that forms an integral part of the basic treatment model at the Addiction Clinic. It has two parts, residential (inpatient) and outpatient (attendance). The Transition Group helps patients safely manage the adaptation from the protected environment of residential treatment to everyday life and maintain the changes they have achieved during this first phase of treatment.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

The goal is to support stability during the period when relapse is most likely. The program combines professional guidance with practical training in everyday life skills:

maintaining abstinence and strengthening resistance to relapse
managing cravings and risky situations
development of the ability to manage one's own life (self-management)
connection to other forms of care according to individual needs
