Understand the process of Recovery at Second Chances Sober Living.
When you enroll your loved one into our programs, you will fill out important paperwork that will help us understand their history, health records, and more. These records are vital for us to help our future resident. Once you are done submitting the paperwork, a member of our staff will contact you to make arrangements. Our team moves quickly, and in many cases, we have been able to admit new residents and have prescriptions ready for them (if necessary) within hours. The recovery process can begin immediately. Your loved one will live in our homes, become part of a community, begin a 12 step process, and find support through mentors, doctors, and peers. In our society, when something is broken, we take it to get repaired or we replace it with a new item. People are not quite the same… Recovery is a process. Living in a recovery home doesn’t always solve the deepest roots of addiction. It is not a once-and-done cure. Recovery is a lifestyle. It’s a journey and a process. Recovery is a process. Living in a recovery home doesn’t always solve all problems, and people – unlike computers – can’t be taken to the shop to fix all problems is not a once-and-done fix to all problems. Be aware that your loved one is on a journey and in process. As a member of their support team, simple love and affirmation is one of the best things that you can provide to someone in recovery.
Empower. Don’t enable.
Behind every person trapped in addiction, there is usually a friend or loved one providing enabling behaviors. An enabling behavior is one that removes the natural consequences of an addict’s behavior. Enablers suffer the effects of an addict’s behavior, but often provide variables or elements to a situation that allow the addictive behavior to continue in the long-run. Enabling behaviors might resemble lying to others to present a calm exterior, blaming others or making excuses for an addict, or providing money so that the addict does not have to steal to use their substance. Overall, enabling discourages users from addressing their problem with professional help, and it can lead to situations that cause physical, mental and psychological harm – both for the addict and his or her loved ones. The good news is that enabling behaviors can be identified and healed. When someone ceases to provide an enabling behavior, the addict is confronted with his or her situation and must cope with the circumstances. Only when he or she is face to face with their own problem will they begin to change. Give your loved one the power to face their challenge. Only then can they overcome it. We recommend the following steps for family & friends of our residents: Discover any enabling behaviors with the help of caring friends or professionals. Make a commitment to stop the enabling behaviors. Find friends or a professional to support you and keep you accountable to stop enabling behaviors. Develop an understanding of the recovery process and the challenges your loved one is facing. Cast aside unreasonable expectations and begin setting goals for healthy relationship behaviors. Keep in touch with your loved one who is in recovery. Make sure that they know you love and care for them. Allow your loved one in recovery to face consequences and “clean up” any repercussions of their actions.
