THE NEED
ADDICTION DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
NEITHER DOES RECOVERY.
Addiction develops over time, and recovery does too. A few weeks in residential treatment may create a beginning, but it rarely provides enough time to rebuild a life. Recovery requires continued care, accountability, support, and the opportunity to keep doing the work.

SUPPORT AFTER TREATMENT MATTERS
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT MATTERS.
A review of 33 controlled trials found that continuing care produced significant improvements in substance-use outcomes, both at the end of care and during follow-up.
MORE TIME CAN CHANGE THE OUTCOME
When insurance coverage ends before the clinical team recommends discharge, Forge funding may help provide additional residential days.
RECOVERY NEEDS SOMEWHERE TO LAND
Forge may also help fund sober living, outpatient treatment, therapy, and other services that support a safer transition into everyday life.
WHEN COVERAGE ENDS, THE WORK DOESN'T HAVE TO.
When insurance coverage ends before a person is ready to leave residential treatment, Forge can help bridge the gap. Approved zero-interest funding may provide additional days in care or support the next appropriate step, including sober living, outpatient treatment, and therapy.
