What is Aftercare?
Aftercare is the stage of addiction treatment that follows the completion of a formal rehabilitation program. It includes continued therapy, support groups, and resources aimed at helping individuals maintain their sobriety and prevent relapse.
Aftercare plans are personalized to each individual and may include outpatient counseling, participation in 12 Step Programs, or regular check-ins with a healthcare provider. The goal of aftercare is to provide a support network and coping tools to help individuals navigate the challenges of long-term recovery.
