Continuing Care
Part 3 - Telephone Monitoring The goal of telephone monitoring is to establish a consistent avenue for tracking a client's recovery process. Through telephone collaborations the addiction professional and the client identify any potential high-risk situations and emotional triggers for drug use. In addition, they work together to build lifestyle activities unconnected with substance use. As continuing care begins, the calling schedule for the counselor and client is approximately once a week for 8 weeks, decreasing to once every 2 weeks for 10 months, then once a month for 6 months and finally once every 2 months for the remainder of continuing care. This type of schedule should be viewed flexibly and modified based on how the client is responding and his/her balance of risk/protective factors.
