Texas, United States - November 18, 2014 /PressCable/ —
Providing extended-care recovery is not new to Benchmark Recovery Center, located east of Austin, Texas in the small townsuburb of Manor. Founded in 2006 by visionary Mark Houston, the alcohol and drug rehab facility wasone of the first in Texas to have a 90-day minimum residential program.
CEO Marsha Stone states, “Extended-care hasalways been our focus, and is the perfect adjunct to clinical treatment. No oneis ready to resume daily living after a mere 30 days of rehabilitation. We knowa structured, step-down program with sober living and peer recovery support iswhat works best for most people”.
Stone and Greg Fabry, Executive Director,were recently interviewed by Gary Enos, editor of Addiction Professional Magazine, one of severalindustry publications produced by media leader, Vendome Healthcare Media. The internet article, written by Enos,highlights the different phases of the Benchmark program recently presented byFabry at the NationalAlliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) Best Practices Summit held inAtlanta last month. “Our robust program provides multiple layers ofaccountability and support up to 15 months or longer” says Fabry.
Benchmark Recovery Center is a big advocateof high accountability sober living as part of the extended care process andfirmly believes NARR is on the right track with the certification process andenforcement of ethical standards. Benchmark has gender-specific apartmentcomplexes in Central Austin where their residents transition after the 90-dayresidential phase. The BRCRecovery Residences are managed by trained peer recovery supportspecialists who live on-site and provide supervision 24/7.
They have been certified since 2011 by TROHN, the Texas NARR affiliate.
“Addiction is a chronic illness thatrequires a chronic care approach found within a recovery-oriented system ofcare (ROSC). While 30 to 90 day acute treatment models do a great jobstabilizing someone with substance use issues, the best outcomes are generatedwhen we provide recovery support to individuals for the first 12 to 18 monthsand beyond. Benchmark Recovery Center understands this. Their residents receiveintensive services at their residential recovery center before stepping down alevel of support into recovery housing. Plus, residents receive up to 12 monthsof person-centered support from Certified Peer Support Specialists and alifetime of support from an active alumni community.” states NARRPresident, Jason Howell.
Benchmark Recovery Center provides anextended-care recovery program for adult men and women struggling withalcoholism and drug addiction.
