What to Expect When Your Loved One Comes Home from Rehab

Posted in Recovery, Rehab, Sober Living on Dec 30, 2015

Are you planning on moving home after your stay at a Florida sober living home? Chances are that your whole family is excited for your return, and why wouldn’t they be? It’s been years since you were this healthy and in control of your life choices, and as far as your family is concerned, they finally have the loved one back that they remember – before you fell into the trap of substance abuse addiction.

However, amidst all of your family’s excitement, they still need to remember that you are, in fact, in recovery. Without the structured setting of your Boca Raton sober living home, having their support for helping you succeed in sobriety is of the utmost importance. For this reason, make sure they know what to expect when your loved one comes home from rehab.

Don’t be afraid of therapy. While you were in the throes of your substance abuse addiction, chances are that you made some mistakes that affected your entire family. Even though you are a new person after your stay at Awakenings for Women, your loved ones may still be harboring ill-feelings. Going to therapy together can help work through any residual issues.

Don’t be afraid to talk about it. The fact that you went to a Florida sober living home for substance abuse does not have to be a huge secret that no one talks about. In fact, having an open dialogue with your loved ones will help make your home life be that much more relaxing, as well prevent any potential relapse from happening.
