Aftercare
For us, recovery doesn’t end as soon as a client enters rehabilitative treatment. Recovery from any addiction, whether it be alcohol or drug abuse, is a lengthy process and we want to be an active part of the client’s recovery long after we’ve found them the right treatment programme.We know from our own experience that clients with a long-term plan, fortified with healthy aftercare, are more likely to stay sober than those without a plan. That’s why we offer our professional support and expertise not only to the client but to the client’s family. Our approach to aftercare is taken from many years of research and development. We use only the most effective plan which we tailor to the needs of the client and the people around them.
Our aftercare programme includes some or all of the following:
- Weekly follow-up with the client while in a treatment centre with signed progress reports back to the family.
-
Active participation in the discharge strategy with the treatment centre.
-
Escorting the client back to the family.
- A meeting with all family members involved in the intervention to explain what treatment really involved for the patient and what to expect after discharge.
- Arranging for a sober companion to stay with the client for between 3 days and 6 months.
- Administering alcohol or drug tests at the request of the family or concerned parties.
