Sober Communities Help After An IOP

Sober Communities Help After An IOP 1

If you plan on or have participated in addiction support groups, you might be wondering what the next necessary steps would be to take after you complete it. There are plenty of reasons you might want to go home and attempt to start over and away from any conversation of addiction, but GateHouse Treatment wants you to know why staying involved in a sober community is important to your continued recovery in addiction support.

You already started building a support network. When you started your IOP in NH, you began learning about the importance of attending group meetings and had started building a support network for yourself, so why stop here? As you grow, your support should too, and the more people who can help often the better.

Many times, drug and alcohol addiction put a large strain on our relationships with friends and family. Groups and communities give us the opportunity to work on rebuilding our trust in others, other’s trust in us, and having open discussions about our sobriety.

You will have multiple shoulders to lean on. Sometimes, it’s just nice to know there is someone rooting for the same team as you. Whether you need a sober friend to attend an event with you, or someone to call late at night, community members will have your back the same way you have theirs.

It can help you gain perspective. When you are in a community, you are with people in multiple stages of addiction support groups recovery. From a newly recovering addict to someone who has been sober for over 10 years, you will find that you can support those struggling and gain help from others when you struggle yourself.

Completing addiction support and joining other communities afterward might seem scary, but it doesn’t have to be. If you or someone you know suffers from addiction and could use our help, please contact GateHouse Treatment today at (855) 448-3588. We are available to you 24/7!
