Aftercare

Throughout treatment at Royal Life Centers at the Haven, our case managers collaborate with guests to develop a concise relapse prevention plan interwoven in their individualized Continuing Care Plan. As addiction specialists, we acknowledge that the biggest threat to sobriety and sustained recovery is the premature exit from addiction treatment. Often, guests need extended time in comprehensive treatment to fully cement sobriety in their routine.

When guests leave treatment early, they run the risk of relapse because they weren’t able to fully incorporate their recovery strategies in their behaviors and mentality. Unfortunately, this can lead a vulnerable person into a downward spiral and return to old, addictive habits. For this reason, we suggest all of our guests work with their case managers to map out a treatment plan including a residential inpatient program or intensive outpatient program (IOP).

Guests who then choose to continue care with us can join our residential inpatient program Royal Life Centers at Puget Sound, entering our residential inpatient program. During the residential inpatient level of care, behavioral health services include group therapy meetings six days a week (Mon-Sat), 5 hours per day.

Guests are also offered the option to transfer to our aftercare facility, Royal Life Centers at Sound Recovery, which is located directly next to the Haven.

After completing our inpatient programs, guests who would like to continue with us in our aftercare program most commonly will choose to live in our Sober Housing on property. Our Sober housing is only available to current guests who have completed our inpatient treatment programs. We model the responsibility of paying bills and budgeting with low weekly rent for a nice apartment or home that is fully furnished with cable/internet and is accompanied by the safety and security of a sober living staff nearby. Paying rent for sober housing begins after we help you find employment— in phase 2 of the 12-week program. Rent is a weekly cost of $50 (weeks 4-8) and rises to $75 (weeks 9-12).

Following our detox and residential inpatient treatment, guests can transition into our 12-week aftercare program as a part of our continuum of care. Lasting four weeks, our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the first of three stages within Royal’s aftercare program, offering a structured, less restrictive form of addiction treatment. During PHP, guests attended two three-hour sessions of group therapy on Monday through Friday and one three-hour group on Saturday.

"The biggest threat to sobriety and sustained recovery is not staying in the treatment setting for long enough. "

After PHP, guests transition to our 8-week intensive outpatient program (IOP) as they begin re-acclimating themselves to the community. At this point in treatment, evidence-based research supports the notion that an individual’s desire for sobriety outweighs their desire for substance use. With that in mind, we guide and encourage our guests as they develop the self-motivation techniques needed to establish healthy social and cognitive skills. Guests at the IOP level of care complete two 4-week phases. In phase 1 of IOP, the transitional phase from PHP, guests attend one three-hour group therapy session, five days a week (Mon-Fri). In phase two of IOP, group therapy is held for three hours a day, three days a week (Mon-Fri). If you or someone you know has a substance use disorder, we hope you’ll begin your journey with us at Royal Life Centers. Our admissions team is available around the clock at 888-568-5998.
