Find out why accountability is essential during drug or alcohol rehab
Accountability means being honest with oneself and others about one’s behaviors and taking responsibility for their choices. Accountability should be the number one priority for those seeking addiction treatment because accountability will help them stay sober long-term. This blog post will define accountability in rehab, ways to support accountability, and how to maintain it throughout addiction treatment.
What Is Accountability in Rehab?
Accountability in alcohol and drug rehab means being honest about substance use disorder (SUD) and harmful behaviors. It also means taking responsibility for past actions. There are many individualized ways to maintain accountability while in rehab. These ways include keeping a journal of behaviors, attending AA anonymous or NA meetings, talking openly with others about using habits, or going to therapy sessions that focus on recovery.
