1. Detox
You have to get the drugs and the alcohol out of
your system if you are going to have a fighting
chance at staying clean and sober.  This is
important because without a baseline of sobriety
you cannot even get started in recovery.  It is
nice to sit around and be drunk and wish that you
were sober, but this does not produce meaningful
results.  Recovery starts with detox.

2. Residential Treatment
This is where  you stay for the traditional 28
days and learn all sorts of things about
addiction and recovery.  You generally attend
groups, lectures, 12 step meetings, and talk with
a therapist, and so on.  This period of time is
sort of a shock to your system because you are
suddenly living without self medicating with
drugs and alcohol.  Getting through this period
of recovery is actually not that difficult at all
because you are in the protected environment of
rehab.

3. Transitional Period
When you leave rehab, there is going to be a
period of time when you are not yet living in
long term recovery, but yet you are out of the
initial stage of recovery and you are trying to
find your footing.  This is where nearly everyone
slides back into relapse instead of finding a way
to make recovery work for them.

4. Long Term Sobriety
This is the point where you have made it out of
rehab and gone through that tricky transitional
period and you have found your footing.  If you
are doing things right, then it is likely that
you help others in recovery on a regular basis,
and you push yourself to keep growing.
