West Los Angeles Handbook 2023 - 18

Relapse
If a relapse in drug/alcohol use occurs while
participating in the program, you are expected to report
this immediately to your counselor. Keeping relapse a
secret effectively stops progress and growth in recovery
and keeps the addiction active. Talking to people takes
the power away from the disease and helps you get back
on track with recovery.
If you report that you've relapsed, your counselor or a
member of the treatment team will meet with you to
discuss your individual situation and assess your needs.
A recommendation for further care will be made and
may include any of the following:
* An adjustment to your treatment plan
* Extension of your outpatient program
* Discharge with a referral to a higher level of care
* Transfer to a higher level of care
Early Discharge or Transfer
The safety of patients and staff at the Betty Ford Center
is extremely important. Patients may be transferred
or discharged from the Betty Ford Center at any time
if they are a threat to themselves or others. In some
circumstances, a behavior contract and/or conflict
resolution may take place. The Betty Ford Center may
also take legal action if illegal behaviors occur on our
property.
The most common reasons for early discharge are:
* Stealing from peers, staff or the Betty Ford Center.
* Using, possessing or supplying mood-altering
substances. You may be asked to complete a urine
analysis if use is suspected.
* Leaving the Center without permission.
* Violence including but is not limited to hitting,
slapping, kicking, verbal threats, explosive outbursts
and damaging property.
* Sexual behavior including physical contact, sexual
innuendo or any forms of sexual harassment of any
kind with another patient in the Betty Ford Center's
continuum of care is not allowed. Mutually respectful,
peer-to-peer hugging is not considered sexual
behavior.
* Developing a pattern of consistently not meeting
treatment expectations may be cause for early
discharge. This includes recommendations that the
medical or mental health teams think are necessary for
your health, such as taking prescribed medication and
meeting with mental health or medical professionals.
Those who are discharged from the Betty Ford Center
and wish to be readmitted need to follow the regular
admission process. In some cases readmission may
not be authorized. If you have questions, please do not
hesitate to ask your counselor.
