Five questions to ask any rehab centre

- What is in the written fee, and what costs extra?
- How does the family take part, and when can we visit?
- What happens after discharge if cravings return?

Relapse prevention: staying well after discharge
Relapse is common in the first year and does not mean treatment failed. See our aftercare.
- Name the triggers. Old friends, payday, stress, boredom.
- Write a plan. Who to call and what to do in the first hour of a craving.
- Keep a routine. Regular sleep, meals, work or study.
- Return fast after a slip. Early follow-up works better than waiting.
- Stay connected. Family and peer support reduce isolation.
