Aftercare refers to the care available to recovering addicts after they have completed inpatient treatment. The transition from inpatient treatment to independent, sober living can be overwhelming. This adjustment is often accompanied by individuals, places and negative memories that have the potential to trigger a relapse.
Recovering addicts can participate in aftercare counseling, which requires the participant to meet one-on-one with a licensed therapist who has been recommended by the treatment program from which they graduated. Aftercare counseling can also include group sessions, giving recovering individuals the opportunity to connect with others who have completed treatment and are adjusting to sobriety. Recovery Associates offers comprehensive aftercare programs for addicts and alcoholics in recovery. Our outpatient program offers a combination of individual and group therapy sessions which provide clients with the continued support they need as they adjust to this tremendous lifestyle change.
Aftercare in the form of a sober living residence can offer a place for recovering addicts to live while they adjust to life outside of treatment. Recovery Associates of the Palm Beaches offers access to sober living opportunities for men, women and teens recovering from a variety of addictions. Research shows that individuals who commit to residing in sober living significantly increase their chances of achieving a successful, long term sobriety.
In addition, 12 Step programs are a valuable part of the recovery process. Recovery Associates supports the 12 Step model and encourages clients to attend meetings and find a sponsor.
