Am I ready for aftercare?

Before you leave us, our team ensures you’re ready to stay sober beyond our doors. A specialized aftercare plan is the key to getting your life back. You’re ready if:

You’ve completed the medical detox process
You’ve finished more intense levels of care, such as inpatient or outpatient care
You’ve gained the skills needed to maintain sobriety outside of rehab
You’re committed to overcoming my addiction to drugs or alcohol

Goals of Aftercare

Relapse is common in addiction recovery, but participating in aftercare programs has been shown to help lower relapse rates. Aftercare helps clients:

Use learned coping strategies to manage triggers in real world situations.
Continue therapeutic work with counselors, psychiatrists and sponsors.
Pursue personal and professional goals.
Establish a stable support system to stay accountable.
Commit to activities and relationships that encourage healthy living.

What to Expect In Our Aftercare Program

Your aftercare planning begins from the time you enter treatment. Our facility team works closely with your case manager to devise a comprehensive aftercare plan that will work for you once you’re ready to leave our doors.

Once a patient is discharged, their case manager may continue to check up on them periodically to ensure they’re doing well and make any needed adjustments to the aftercare plan. Our patients can stay connected to providers they met in treatment through Nobu, ensuring an uninterrupted continuation of treatment with professionals who are already familiar with your history and recovery journey.

Let me start by saying, no place is absolutely perfect. There's always room for improvement. Having said that, RVC literally changed my life! Most the staff really wanted to be helpful and the Clinicians were absolutely amazing! If you are in need of recovery, without a doubt choose RVC. I learned so much about myself and how the awful Disease of addiction works while being in a safe environment. The counselors were great and the groups were even better! I 100% recommend RVC to go get well and get a healthy clean life back!Addiction is giving up everything to have one thing. Recovery is giving up one thing to have EVERYTHING!THANKS RVC!I'd like to add the recipe I learn for recovery is Time,Effort and surrender. If you're willing to surrender and put effort and time in YOU CAN RECOVER! Many blessings to all at RVC and All looking for RECOVERY!

Who Needs Aftercare?

The complex disease of addiction can’t be cured with a single treatment, medication or short-term program. Long-lasting sobriety is an ongoing choice that people must recommit to every single day. Because of this, aftercare is an essential part of every patient’s recovery program at The Recovery Village.

An ideal candidate for aftercare has:

Completed the medical detox process
Finished more intense levels of care, such as residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient programs
The skills needed to maintain sobriety outside of rehab
The desire and commitment to overcome an addiction to drugs or alcohol

Life After Rehab: The Aftercare Process

Weeks, months and even years after a formal rehabilitation program is complete, patients still run the risk of relapse. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the relapse rate for drug addiction is between 40-60%, with even higher rates for alcohol addiction. However, the longer a person stays sober after completing a rehab program, the lower their chances of relapse become.

At The Recovery Village, we help bolster post-rehab success by structuring our programs around the skills needed for lifelong wellness. In the beginning stages of treatment, patients adjust to sobriety, learn how to modify harmful thoughts and behaviors and begin to understand the roots of their substance use disorder. Following medical detox and residential treatment, they move to progressively more autonomous levels of care in partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient programs. There, people gradually gain more independence, develop a strong support network and foster greater self-understanding and acceptance.

Once an individual has worked through these levels of care, they are ready to begin the aftercare process. Aftercare marks the transition from formal treatment to lifelong recovery outside the walls of our facility. Before a patient is discharged from our program, counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists and physicians work closely with their personal case manager to devise a comprehensive aftercare plan.
