Taking the first step towards addiction recovery can be complex. At Avalon Malibu, we believe that the first thing someone needs to do is recognize that they have an addiction problem. But once you’ve reached that point, what is the next step? Let’s go over what we recommend at Avalon Malibu if that’s where you’re at now.
Taking the First Step
If you want to pursue sobriety but you don’t know what your options are or what the first step is, then you’re not alone. Let’s go over what you should do if you’re ready to commit to recovery but aren’t sure what you should do next.
Finding Treatment
One of the best ways to set yourself up for success is to find a treatment program. Programs can be an excellent way to get support and start your sobriety journey, so consider doing some research in your area and seeing if there are any programs that interest you. Some people end up traveling for a treatment program, so you may want to explore options that are a little farther away if that’s feasible for you.
Once you’ve found a treatment program, consider asking them if you can take a tour. Touring is a great way to make sure that you feel comfortable at that facility. While you’re on your tour, make sure that you ask all of the questions that you have and learn about both their mental health and addiction approach.
