Coming Home Planning

Returning home after a residential treatment or wilderness program can be a time of hope, growth, and transition. While these programs offer intensive support and help individuals develop new coping strategies, the reintegration process can bring its own set of challenges. At The Ruben Group, we specialize in providing comprehensive support to ensure a smooth and successful transition back to daily life.

The transition from a residential treatment or wilderness program to home can be difficult for both the individual and their family. Some of the common challenges include:

  • Maintaining Momentum: After a period of intense focus and structure, individuals may struggle to maintain the momentum they’ve built while at the program.

  • Rebuilding Relationships: Relationships with family members and loved ones may have shifted during the time spent away, and reestablishing trust and open communication can take time and effort.

  • Managing Expectations: It’s common for families to have high hopes and expectations upon return. Managing these expectations while allowing space for continued growth is crucial.

  • Navigating New Routines: The structure of a treatment program provides a sense of safety, which can be hard to replicate at home. Adjusting to new routines and responsibilities may require additional support and guidance.

  • Handling Setbacks: It’s important to recognize that setbacks may occur as part of the process. Being prepared for these moments and having tools in place to handle them can make all the difference.

We understand that coming home is not just about returning to a familiar environment, but about making lasting changes and building on the progress made during treatment. Our concierge coaching and family support services are tailored to create a seamless and sustainable reintegration process, helping individuals and families navigate the changes with confidence, clarity, and mutual understanding.
