Recovery Assistance Program -- Following A Continuum of Care RAP -- A Clear Solution For Alcohol And Drug RecoveryResearch and studies conducted on ways to provide better support for those in recovery revealed a core fact. People who didn't follow their continuing care plan experienced a relapse. Conversely, individuals that focused on assistance programs with compliance had better success. This fairly simple formula provided an opportunity to design a recovery program that would offer a well balanced system of assistance and compliance. The key is to help people implement and follow their plans and create accountability while predicting and preventing relapse. The program's three main elements are:
During the re-entry bridge a smooth transition from the recovery center to your new life in recovery is provided. This is typically done with a RAP representative and all those involved in the recovery process of the patient. The key element here is that the continuing care plan is reviewed in detail and expectations and boundaries are established around the patient's participation agreement.  During the final phase, monitoring, verification of program compliance is accomplished through a series of regularly scheduled teleconferences over the course of 12 months. Using clinical case tools a recovery advocate will look for predictors of possible relapse and take preventative action as appropriate. There will also be other forms of compliance like random toxicology screens.Mark Houston Recovery isn't just going to push you out the door and hope for the best.

What do you do when you've completed your recovery? Are you supposed to just return to your life and go back to the way things were in all hopes that you'll be able to live a sober life without the fear of a relapse? Mark Houston Recovery doesn't believe so. We know for a fact the recovery is only part of the process. Being able to stay clean or not abuse and use after recovery is as much a challenge as getting help in the first place. Because addiction is a disease it should be treated as such which is why there is a need for focused disease management that will not only address the illness but managing it over the course of a lifetime though continuing care. As a result Mark Houston Recovery in conjunction with Addiction Intervention Resources (AIR) has in place the Recovery Assistance Program (RAP). This program is designed to provide relapse prevention through education support and monitoring.
