Traveling for Treatment

Traveling for treatment may also prove necessary in order to nurture and develop your recovery in a place that's not familiar and easily triggering. Though home might provide a sense of comfort, comfort isn't always the best friend of someone who is searching for recovery.

It sometimes takes leaving your comfort zone in order to learn how to live a life of sobriety. Start a new life, find the best place to recover for you.

In order to successfully maintain sobriety after leaving treatment, it is important to find a local 12-step meeting. These meetings gather people with the intent to provide fellowship and healing. In these meetings, people have the opportunity to grow with peers and find mentors and sponsors. Sobriety doesn't happen in isolation. It takes a whole team.
