Transitional care at Covenant Hills is intended to support individuals as they begin integrating back into daily life.

In the transitional care program, individuals will focus on their personal and professional goals and will begin to implement them in their everyday lives. Focused on restoring the mind, body, and soul when integrated back into normal life, the transitional program encompasses a whole person approach to long-term addiction recovery.
Benefits of Transitional Care
There are many benefits to transitional care that aid individuals in making a peaceful transition back into their old environments. The goal of the dedicated staff is to make sure that when slowly moving into their daily routines, clients avoid a relapse by using the strategies learned in psychotherapy to cope with difficult moments.
The purpose of a transitional care program is to reintegrate individuals back into their communities in a successful and supportive way. By incorporating the coping mechanisms and research-based life management skills learned in therapy, individuals will learn to avoid a relapse by having the opportunity to practice these techniques with the support of the therapy team.
The transitional care program at Covenant Hills offers individuals the opportunity to experience the following benefits to help in long-term recovery.
Reintegrates individuals back into school or job responsibilities.- The transitional care program gives individuals the opportunity to slowly immerse themselves back into their routines while still being supported by the therapy team. Clients will begin fulfilling previous school or job responsibilities and will be able to use the coping mechanisms learned in psychotherapy if faced with adversity. Therapists will coach clients in managing the stress of their school or job responsibilities and will aid them in balancing their duties while incorporating enjoyable activities.
Encourages clients to create positive relationships with family and friends.- Because individuals have successfully completed the inpatient residential program, they now have the chance to reconnect on a daily basis with their loved ones. This opportunity helps individuals let go of the social circles that elicited destructive habits and find new social groups that find faith in God and in each other. Establishing meaningful relationships with the people who have encouraged and supported the entire recovery process will make the transition back into the community a positive and hopeful experience.
Helps individuals maintain connection with spirituality.- Balancing daily responsibilities can be difficult for those recovering from an addiction. However, the renewed connection with God made during recovery will motivate individuals to maintain a sober life. This highly beneficial part of the transitional program helps individuals connect to the Christian communities in their normal environments. Reaching out to the Christian community allows clients to meet positive people who share similar interests and who support one another.
Individuals practice coping skills and techniques in daily life.- Now that individuals are transitioning back into their normal environments, they can practice the coping strategies learned in psychotherapy when faced with difficult moments. This is highly beneficial for clients because therapists will work with them to make sure the coping mechanisms are effective. Determining the effectiveness of coping mechanisms while in transitional care will allow therapists and clients time to adapt to more effective methods to overcome social and environmental stressors.
Clients and case managers refine goals to avoid a relapse.- Maintaining sobriety is the ultimate goal of the treatment process. The transitional care program is structured to help therapists and clients identify the social and environmental stressors and redefine the goals and strategies needed to succeed. With a new self-concept and the tools needed to replace destructive behaviors, clients begin to see that with the support of God, family, and friends, they can overcome anything and can lead a healthy life again.
