Our Stabilization Phase

Where Does Stabilization Fall Within The Recovery Process?

Below is a general depiction of the different Levels Of Care an individual can move throughout their addiction recovery journey. Recovery from drug addiction is a long-term process and frequently involves several benchmarks. At Peaks Recovery, we focus intensely on building the individual’s foundation so that they can successfully transition to a lower level of care.

Our Stabilization Phase Explained In Depth

The 2 Main Stages of Stabilization

There are two key physiological issues that must be addressed within any stabilization period:

1. Withdrawal Stabilization

Alleviating the distress and discomfort caused by withdrawal from intense use of drugs and/ or alcohol can be a painful and/ or potentially life-threatening event. Ensuring the safety and well-being of the individual then becomes the first step in a medically managed and monitored detox setting.

2. Craving Stabilization

Over time using the substance, an individual forms habits, patterns, and triggers prompting these cravings, which are the disruptive physiological brain states that drive addiction. After withdrawal stabilization, individuals are transitioned to our clinical specialist team to begin rebuilding tolerance during moments of discomfort. We then can begin to untie the mental bindings to these cravings to help create better habits.

Why is Stabilization so important to the recovery process?

Withdrawal symptoms and Cravings are two states almost all individuals struggling with addiction experience. Both go hand in hand, and failure to nurture both stages of discomfort distracts the individual from doing the individualized work necessary to maintain a directional approach toward recovery.

You have always been worthy of a purposeful life.

The Therapy Side Of Stabilization

The essence of stabilization is providing a solid cognitive distance from the overwhelming effect that rehab, therapy, or working through past experiences/triggers will have.

We do that by providing:

Education surrounding disorders and symptoms

An attention to safety

Stabilization skill-building

A focus on care for one self

Amending the faith in human connection

How long is your Inpatient Rehab Program?

45 days

Our 45-day model is not intended to be the end, it is simply an important piece of the recovery journey. While we provide excellent inpatient/ stabilization services, after Peaks Recovery we rely on our trusted partners throughout the country who specialize in their own piece of this process and support post-stabilization services. To nurture a long-term recovery requires directional care beyond our programs such as aftercare and ongoing treatment by a community-based Psychiatrist or therapist, IOP, OP, or structured sober living environment.

Why do we choose to focus on this crucial step?

We choose to provide exceptional treatment during the early stages of recovery.

We’ve built our team around this model and focused all our energy and resources to create the best first step you or your loved one can take. This gives us the best opportunity to make an effective impact on the individuals in our care.

Throughout our own journey, we have learned that these crucial foundational steps require our extreme focus and dedication. This has given our program the opportunity to recreate residential strategies as a piece of the continuum of care that best supports individuals, and creates an arc of care that ensures people stay directional in their recovery journey.

To allow our medical and clinical team to focus on these core steps, and not feel overwhelmed.

These early recovery stages require a well-oiled team with sophistication. Other programs are often not licensed for detox and residential treatment services and generally refer clients to detox settings so long as the detox setting sends the client back to their program for “ambulatory” Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) services. This practice does little to support the stabilization of the craving state due to the lack of medical/ provider/ clinical services. The lack of focus on the stabilization period can create incredible pressure on licensed or unlicensed individuals’ (sober-living) environments to nurture the distress/ discomfort brought about by cravings.

Stabilization leads to a better understanding of which treatment modality works best for their recovery journey.

Peaks Recovery creates a 45-day arc of stabilization establishing early recovery concepts, setting the individual up for long-term success in their step-down program, such as IOP, and community immersion. At Peaks, we engage and explore multiple avenues of treatment modalities that allow them to experience what could best suit them as they choose their next recovery step-down program.

To provide transparency and a deeper understanding of addiction treatment and the behavioral health industry.

We believe there is a lack of education surrounding the need for such levels of care, so, we wanted to be the ones to start providing the insight. This has given our program the opportunity to recreate residential strategies as a piece of the continuum of care that best support recovery, and allows us to provide pages like such to bring better awareness to addiction and what addiction recovery looks like on a deeper level.
