Feb 8 2022
Categories:Love and Relationships

Is it better for couples with addiction problems to go to rehab together or apart? This is a question that many couples struggling with addiction find themselves asking. In fact, one of the biggest decisions you will face is whether to go to rehab together.

Before making a decision, it's important to weigh the pros and cons of both options. In this blog post, we will explore five benefits of going to rehab together. By the end of this post, you should have a better understanding of whether or not going to rehab together is right for you and your partner.

1) You Can Enter A Specialized Couples Treatment Program

There are now addiction treatment centers that offer recovery programs for couples who are suffering from addiction. The great thing about this program is that while you are treated as an individual, there is also an opportunity to tackle problems you may have as a couple that may be contributing to your addiction.

You can have the same addiction counselors and therapists look at your situation and guide you on how to best resolve your issues as a couple. This option can be extremely beneficial if you and your partner need this specialized treatment.

2) You Can Go Through the Same Process Together

5 Benefits of Going to the Same Rehab

When you go to different rehabs, there is the risk of each person having a different experience. Treatment centers have different approaches in handling their clients so there is a chance that your partner could receive treatment that you don't. It can be difficult if one of you is having a great experience while the other one isn't. This can also make it more difficult for you to relate to one another's experiences as well.

The ideal scenario would be for both of you to have the same experience when it comes to entering rehab and going through the recovery process. Going to rehab together means you can go through the same process at the same time. It's crucial for everyone involved to have the best possible experience because it will only benefit your recovery in the end.

While we understand that every person's recovery process is unique, going to the same couples treatment program could increase your chances of completing your recovery journey together.

3) You'll Be Given the Same Tools for Recovery

As we've discussed earlier, different rehabs have different ways of treating their clients. Treatment centers use different tools and approaches to help you overcome your addiction.

When you go to the same rehab as your partner, both of you will be given the same tools that are proven effective in treating your addiction. Both of you will have the same opportunities to practice these tools that are given to you.

This is important because when you finish your time in rehab, it will be easier for both of you to use these tools together to maintain your recovery. You can have a similar understanding of how to employ these recovery tools in order to avoid relapse and have an enduring recovery.

4) You Can Share the Same Support Network

If you are intent on pursuing your recovery together and you plan to maintain your relationship as a couple, having the same support system could be helpful. You may want to have the same addiction counselors as well as the same therapists to help you with your journey as a couple.

You can also form new friendships with the people you meet in rehab. This is advantageous because you will have a stronger support network because all of you can relate to each other's recovery journey.

Take note, however, that one possible drawback of going to the same rehab is if you are not sure whether you want your relationship to continue as a couple. Being in the same circle and having the same set of friends can be difficult if you are no longer together.

Having the same support network can be great in terms of recovery, but it will also depend on what you and your partner want for yourselves.

5) You Can Support Each Other Through Recovery

One of the most valuable benefits of going to the same rehab together is being able to support each other on your journey towards recovery. Since you are going to the same program together, you can be each other's cheerleader when it comes to pursuing your recovery goals.

Having a partner who is willing to stick with you in this journey can make a huge difference in how far you go on your road towards recovery. You will both be accountable to each other and working together makes your recovery more likely to succeed than if only one of you goes through rehab. This will also make it easier for both of you to lessen the chance of relapse and prevent further damage to yourself and to your relationship.
