Aftercare Program

Give yourself the opportunity for sustainable positive change.

What Is Aftercare?

Recovery from addiction doesn’t stop when you finish treatment, it’s a lifelong journey. Our Aftercare program provides a way to continue treatment when you have completed an Inpatient Program or intensive Outpatient Program.

Aftercare focusses on relapse prevention and is designed to be there for as long as it’s needed.

Ongoing support includes weekly meetings, family groups, counselling and UDS (Urine Drug Screen) testing.

Aftercare Options

Why is Aftercare so important?

Rates of relapse for addiction are 40-60% with the highest risk of relapse occurring in the first 90 days of recovery.

The risk will slowly diminish – so long as you continue implementing the strategies and activities you will have learnt to maintain your recovery.
Aftercare Programs reduce the risk of relapse and give you the best possible opportunity for long-term, sustainable recovery.

If you are planning on entering or leaving a treatment program, plan ahead and have an Aftercare program in place.
