Answer by Acid09
After you complete the program a rehab center the “continuum” is what you do to continue to stay clean – follow ups with a councellor – entering a program like AA or NA and of course – staying sober.

Also rehad therapists can recomend that you go into out patient treatment (or some such program) even though a person may have already completed inpatient treatment.

Continuum of treatment would be continuing going to NA/AA meetings, working the 12 steps with your sponsor and most importantly staying sober after release from rehab. Regarding substance abuse no one is ever “cured”, it is something you must constantly work on to prevent relapse. Addicts must unfortunately deal with addiction the rest of there lives and if an addict is not working on staying clean and sober then they are headed for relapse. This is what is meant by ‘continuum of treatment’.
