The Efficacy of Aftercare Programs
Official clinical research reveals that most participants in aftercare programs will remain consistent and stop misusing substances. It also suggests aftercare programs help them to reduce participation in criminal activity, enhance psychological functioning, and improve social behaviors.[3] The success is in the numbers, but it’s also in our clients. Here’s what a few had to say.
Substance Use Disorder Aftercare Programs
During early recovery, it’s important to maintain a connection with your treatment support network. With ongoing individualized case management and regular follow-up, you will be continually equipped for success.
How your aftercare program looks will vary from client to client but could include housing assistance, job placement, and counseling. The success of your path relies heavily on your coping skill development, the support of friends and family members, and your ongoing participation in 12-step programs and support groups. All of these elements hold a valued place in recovery and will help you stay the course.

How Long Does Aftercare Support Last?
After your outpatient program is over, you will still need ongoing support. An aftercare program allows you to maintain relationships, support circles, and accountability channels for as long as you need them. Should you require additional support or find yourself in a precarious living situation due to addiction, our PATH program is available to provide aid and prevent potential homelessness. We want to support you as you build coping and interpersonal skills for sustainable sobriety and lifelong healing. We’re here to help you reach your Epiphany.
What is the primary goal of aftercare plans?
The primary purpose for creating individualized aftercare plans is to promote relapse prevention. The nature of alcohol and substance use disorders is that they’re chronic. If there are any underlying mental health disorders resulting in a co-occurring disorder, this may exacerbate the symptoms of each, making long-term recovery even more difficult to sustain.
An aftercare plan provides supportive and practical strategies for maintaining sobriety by continuing to practice healthier habits for life, not just for now.
