Detox is an essential first step in overcoming addiction—but it’s only the beginning. Once the body is free of drugs or alcohol, the real work of recovery begins: healing your mind, rebuilding your life, and learning how to live without substances.
At STR Silver Pines, we help our clients transition seamlessly from detox into comprehensive, personalized treatment that addresses the root causes of addiction and supports long-term recovery.
Why Detox Alone Isn’t Enough
Detox removes harmful substances from the body, but it doesn’t treat the underlying factors that lead to substance use—like trauma, mental health conditions, or unhealthy coping strategies. Without follow-up care, many people are at high risk of relapse.
According to the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment (Vol. 44, No. 2), individuals who complete detox without further treatment are more than twice as likely to relapse compared to those who engage in structured care afterward.

What to Expect After Detox
At STR Silver Pines, we offer a full continuum of care that begins with detox and continues through residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient programs (IOP).
Here’s what happens next after detox:
1. Clinical Assessment and Treatment Planning
Our team conducts a thorough biopsychosocial evaluation to determine the right next steps for your recovery. This includes assessing mental health needs, substance use history, support systems, and personal goals.
2. Transition into Residential Treatment or PHP
Most clients move into residential care or PHP right after detox. These programs offer structured therapy, medical oversight, and 24/7 support in a calm, therapeutic environment.

3. Therapy and Skill Building
You’ll begin working with licensed therapists in both individual and group sessions, exploring the emotional roots of addiction and developing tools for lasting change. We also offer holistic services like mindfulness, yoga, and expressive therapies.
4. Family Involvement
Recovery doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We help rebuild connections by involving family members in education, therapy, and ongoing support planning.
5. Aftercare Planning
As treatment progresses, we work with you to build an aftercare plan that includes outpatient therapy, relapse prevention strategies, support groups, and sober living if needed.
STR Silver Pines’ Approach to Ongoing Care
What sets us apart is our integrated, individualized model. We treat the whole person, not just the addiction, through:
- Dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder
- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care
- Skill-building workshops in stress management, communication, and relapse prevention
- Peer support and community involvement to build connection and accountability
According to the American Journal of Psychiatry (Vol. 178, No. 4), individuals with co-occurring disorders who receive integrated treatment have significantly higher recovery rates than those treated separately for addiction and mental health.
Why Continuity of Care Matters
Without a treatment plan after detox, it’s easy to fall back into old habits and environments that trigger relapse. But when detox is followed by structured care and ongoing support, success rates improve dramatically.
At STR Silver Pines, we don’t just help you get clean—we help you stay clean. Our team walks with you every step of the way, from withdrawal to wellness, with compassion and clinical excellence.
