Long-term sobriety is attainable, however, it doesn’t happen the minute you quit using. It takes the creation and development of a support system.

The Aftercare Program is Key to Sustained Recovery
Relapse is highest for those not proactive and aggressive in managing their recovery. Thus, if untreated, the relapse rates can be as high as 80% within the first year of being treated.
As a result, if a patient successfully completes our treatment program and subsequently participates in an Aftercare Program, the one-year relapse rate can decrease to 15%. Not to mention, the three and five-year relapse rates are 10% and 5% respectively. The Raphaelites Aftercare program is unprecedented, both in its scope and in its advocacy and support for you.

Moreover, if an individual relapses and re-enters alcohol rehab treatment, the chances are high that they will end up in long-term recovery. Some warning signs of alcohol relapse include:
