Understand the Stages of Rehab

Taking the time to complete a rehab program can feel daunting, especially if you or your loved ones don’t know what to expect. Understanding the stages of rehab can help with visualizing a future free from addiction. These stages are generally known as the transtheoretical model. Everyone will have their own individual path to recovery, but this model can provide important and helpful insight.

At Alina Lodge in Blairstown, NJ, you will find a family-friendly team that is ready for you to join us at our residential addiction treatment center. We can help guide you or someone you care about through the stages of rehab.

What Are the Stages of Rehab?

The transtheoretical model can help with understanding where someone might fall within the stages and what may lie ahead. These stages are a good reference for assessing one’s readiness for treatment. Learning the stages of recovery can also help family and friends to understand the underlying factors that drive addiction.

Pre-Contemplation

During this stage, the person dealing with addiction is not ready to admit to having any problem and will not readily seek help. Our addiction specialists can help during this stage to guide the individual towards contemplation.

Contemplation

At this stage, the person has acknowledged your addiction and takes time to consider the consequences of their addictive habits. However, they may still be on the fence about wanting to get help. Specialists can also help during this stage to help with weighing the risks and benefits of treatment.

Preparation

At the preparation stage, a decision has been made to begin treatment for addiction recovery. It is tempting for many to skip over this step and take action right away. With preparation, however, the person can take the time to consider all options and find a treatment plan that works for their own best interests.

Action

During this stage, individuals feel able to take on new skills, adapt, and change. During this stage, the treatment offered should provide support through education, the practice of coping strategies, and relapse prevention. Therapists and counselors can help with the transition from this step into maintenance and recovery.

Maintenance and Recovery

At this stage, individuals are ready to practice skills they have learned in treatment programs, out in the real world. This stage also includes identifying triggers and forming tactics to avoid being tempted back into relapse.
