Do you need a recovery program to stay sober?
It depends on what you consider a recovery program. If you mean a 12-step program like AA or NA, then no not necessarily. Although it is usually extremely helpful for people who are in early sobriety (and some in long-term sobriety as well). If you mean a rehab or treatment center, I think that depends on what you’ve been using, for how long, and what withdrawal might be like. It might be safest to check into a detox center to get your body rid of all the substances
For me personally I think having a sponsor and meetings available is very important I’ve found that if I didn’t have help from others or a hp, I could of never of stopped using on my own
Recovery programs are helpful for some people, but they're not necessary.
