Aftercare Program
Decrease the risk of relapse. Give yourself the opportunity for sustainable positive change.
“Even though I’d learnt a lot at rehab, I didn’t feel safe going back to the world with no structure or support. The Aftercare Program meant that I didn’t feel so alone and I could keep on top of things, stay aware of my triggers, keep learning. I don’t think I would have stayed clean otherwise.”
What Is Aftercare?
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.
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.
