Continued Care Best Practice Workflow Overview

Effective treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs) extends far beyond initial detoxification and residential care. Lasting recovery requires a structured and comprehensive approach that supports individuals as they transition back into their daily lives. 

Continued Care programs incorporate evidence-based interventions, individualized treatment plans, and robust community resources to provide a seamless continuum of care. By integrating these components, facilities can significantly enhance patient outcomes, improve quality of life, and foster a stable, recovery-oriented environment. The goal is to prevent relapse and empower individuals with the skills and support networks necessary to sustain their progress.

In this article, we have collected all the best practice documentation for implementing Continued Care at treatment facilities using the Kipu EMR. From tracking patient progress to streamlining communication between providers and community resources, these articles examine how facilities can enhance care coordination and ensure patients receive the support they need at every stage of their recovery journey.
