FAQs

Aftercare refers to the support and services provided to individuals after completing detoxification or an addiction treatment program. It aims to help individuals maintain their recovery and prevent relapse.

Aftercare is essential because it provides individuals with the tools, support, and guidance necessary to sustain their sobriety. It helps them navigate challenges, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and rebuild their lives free from addiction.

Aftercare programs vary but often include individual therapy, group therapy, support groups, counseling, vocational support, and ongoing education about addiction and relapse prevention.

The duration of aftercare programs varies depending on individual needs and circumstances. It can range from several months to a year or more, with the option for ongoing support and engagement.

While relapse is always a possibility, aftercare significantly reduces the risk. Through ongoing therapy, support, and education, individuals develop the necessary skills and resilience to overcome challenges and maintain their sobriety.
