Description:	The fact is that addiction isn’t something that can be “fixed” or “cured”, and recovery demands a lifelong approach to treatment. This is the reason why 12-step groups like AA and NA emphasize that even when members have been sober for decades, continued adherence to their principals is important to maintain sobriety. And yet, within society, some in active addiction treat the disease as if it has a simple cure. Rehab is considered a pit stop to be used if one has hit ‘rock bottom,’ that will fix the issue so that life will continue. Although addiction cannot be cured, it can be treated effectively with a comprehensive approach to the disease. This treatment requires more than a one-time treatment from a detox facility. At FHE Health, we provide a full continuum of care to our clients, giving them the best opportunities for a new, better life, free from their behavioral and mental health issues. What Is the Continuum of Care? Broadly, the continuum of care describes the process of treating addiction and behavioral health in the most complete and effective way. It summarizes the standards of treatment that are proven to be the most effective, namely, that care should take place over a significant period of time and eases clients back into independent life. The continuum of addiction care is the general name for a process that starts with a check-in to a residential rehab facility and tapers with outpatient treatment, it describes the levels of addiction care. While this may be the end of a facilities involvement in rehabilitation, effective addiction treatment continues after this, with community support. Additionally, there is a medical definition of what the continuum of care really means, set out by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).
