During the period of recovery, the principal goal is to change their life style.

They have established a way of life centered around there addiction, a way of life that requires the use of addictive substances to manage stress that results from the addiction.

In the first stage of the recovery the life style was designed by professionals that help the patient begin there recovery process.

The addict is now ready to reduce his amount of therapy's and learn to establish a normal life style.

Instead of focusing there attention in not using addictive elements, he most focus in the results of his actions, his job and his family.

As an addictive person it's typical for him to establish a way of life centered around his addiction although he is now abstinent, this is carried out with other addictions different from the original addiction.

OUR GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH A BALANCED WAY OF LIFE FREE FROM ADDICTIONS, BASED ON THE VALUES AND ACTIVITIES OF SOBRIETY

A balanced life involves a program of recovery that's active but less intense that the primary treatment. It includes work, family, social, and friendship activities, time for self development for the recovery and time for the exercise and appropriate diet.

Manage the stress and resist the urge to substitute the addiction, this are important factors for the process in the Half-Way House.
