For those who are struggling in their battle to stay sober after receiving treatment from a professional alcohol rehabilitation center, there are encouraging statistics that can offer hope for their future.

Many reports indicate that as many as 20 percent of alcoholics have stayed sober after one year after receiving treatment and following up with aftercare. While that number may seem discouraging, consider that many other reports indicate only a 3 to 10 percent success rate among alcoholics.

The key to the encouraging numbers is following up on alcohol rehabilitation treatment with prescribed aftercare and ongoing treatment plans. While the statistics may look discouraging, the fact is that with proper follow-up after alcohol rehabilitation treatment, a recovering alcoholic won't have to worry about statistics.

12 Palms Recovery Center, nestled in a peaceful setting in Jensen Beach, Florida, strongly believes in building a solid foundation of recovery followed by ongoing treatment and aftercare. Aftercare treatment provided by 12 Palms Recovery Center includes outpatient therapy, participation in AA meetings, working with a sponsor to work the 12 steps to recovery introduced by AA in 1939, group family counseling sessions designed to help repair and restore broken family relationships caused by alcohol use, and working with other recovering alcoholics in giving back, an important component of the 12-step maintenance process.

Oftentimes, many alcohol rehabilitation treatment programs will use the above discouraging statistics as an incentive to newly recovering alcoholics. At 12 Palms Recovery Center, their dedicated staff of counselors are recovering alcoholics themselves, and know full well that a positive approach of building a solid recovery requires positive action and not negative statistics.

For any alcoholic who is struggling to stay sober after treatment, the biggest key for them is to continue prescribed aftercare treatment, talk about their struggles with their sponsor or aftercare counselor, and continue working the 12 steps and attending AA meetings. 12 Palms Recovery Center believes that no alcoholic needs to become part of the discouraging statistics if they take the plan of action prescribed in treatment.
