Outcomes

Naturally, when paying for treatment you want to know that your investment in treatment is going to work for the person concerned. So what are the guarantees?

There are no guarantees as to what success individuals will achieve from their treatment. However if the following key factors to achieving long-term recovery are adhered to then life-long recovery is possible:-

• Being professionally and appropriately ‘matched’ to the right (Best-Match) of treatment
• The addict benefits from ongoing treatment after they have completed their Residential Treatment Programme, especially shorter programmes of 2, 4 or 6 weeks
• Those close to the addict, especially family, gain some insight into their relatives recovery journey – families are one of the most common causes of relapse into addiction – but with the right engagement, that does not have to be the case
• The addict continues to put into practise the skills and techniques they have learned through their treatment
• Those around the addict post-treatment maintain effective boundaries and engagement with the person in recovery

When designing an individual treatment plan for each client Panacea Healthcare’s objective is to enable the client and those around them to benefit from the outcome of a life-long recovery.

It is not unusual for people who have completed a treatment programme to have a ‘lapse’, to drink or use. It is their choice then as to whether they treat it as a momentary lapse and regain control and continue their journey of abstinence by immediately re-connecting to their recovery strategies that they have developed through treatment or whether they choose to return to heavier misuse of substances. Even if they do take that pathway, with a good treatment programme behind them they are more likely to ask for help and stop using again sooner, because they have a strategy that they know they can connect back into.

Panacea’s Network of Partner Treatment Providers are regularly monitored to ensure that they are delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients and if they do not come up to standard, we will cease to partner with them.

People cannot go through intensive treatment programmes without remembering what they learnt – the gift of an intensive treatment programme – WILL have a beneficial effect on a loved one or employee and can play a vital role in someone gaining long-term control over their addiction.
