Recovery Management The initial treatment episode is only the beginning; ongoing care is critical to maximize sustained long-term abstinence. In general, continuing care is related to improved substance use outcomes following treatment.(Donovan, 1998; McKay, 2001; Moos & Moos, 2003) Several studies show the longer the continuing care duration over time, the better the outcome. While the first six months are critical, initial research suggests even longer durations of care may be of benefit. (McKay, 2005) Navy MORE access to patients provides an opportunity for 12 months of support for sobriety.
