reintegration

Who : People who have completed a residential drug treatment program and require ongoing, individual support during the reintegration phase.

How : An individual plan is designed that will enhance job search abilities and reinforce the competences gained during the residential program.

The program is usually implemented in settings known as "transition centers" or "supervised apartments". Under the supervision of professional counselors, the individuals are progressively given autonomy, depending on their needs and capacity.

The post-treatment reintegration program completes the reintegration phase which was begun during the residential treatment process.

Why : Some people need to establish an entire new approach to life in order to achieve a successful reintegration, including getting a job after many years of unemployment, breaking with their past and with their friends who are still using drugs, etc.

The reintegration program is specially designed to help them, step by step, go back into society and begin a new, productive life again.
