Addiction Treatment Aftercare
Recovery from substance use disorder or behavioral addiction is a life-long journey. Because addiction is a chronic condition, active treatment has no effective end date. When you have completed a structured inpatient recovery program and are ready to reenter your everyday life, you need continuing care to help you navigate your daily routine effectively. At The Raleigh House, the initial phase of treatment and continuing care are equally important.
Addiction treatment aftercare is an essential component of substance use disorder recovery. The Raleigh House addiction aftercare programs involve continued support and services for clients who have completed the initial stages of addiction treatment. The purpose of addiction aftercare is to provide ongoing support and guidance to help prevent return to use and promote long-term sobriety.
The Raleigh House provides continuing care and addiction treatment aftercare services designed to give the flexible yet coordinated support you need to manage addiction successfully.
What is Continuing Care?
When the initial phase of recovery treatment concludes, clients are typically introduced to personalized therapeutic strategies. This is known as continuing care.
While inpatient hospitalization might be necessary for people with severe substance use disorders with reuse patterns, residential treatment can only be finite. After the 30-day, 60-day, or (ideally) 90-day treatment program, the client must transition back into independent living. Continuing care gives people in recovery the additional structure and support network necessary to encourage sobriety outside of the rehabilitation facilities.
Continuing care for addiction is also essential for clients struggling with co-occurring mood disorders. Managing conditions like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, or bipolar disorder is vital for long-term sobriety.
Types of Continuing Care for Addiction
At The Raleigh House, we provide an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that offers the following continuing care treatment plans:
Day treatment
We offer a non-residential treatment plan that allows clients to live at home while participating in therapy and addiction treatment aftercare programs during the day. This approach is ideal for clients who have professional or personal obligations that make residential care impractical.
Nighttime treatment
This addiction treatment aftercare plan involves participation in nine hours of group therapy per week. This program benefits clients who have undergone extensive treatment and need additional support during the transition.
The Raleigh House continuum of care is an all-encompassing treatment strategy that includes:
- Alumni program membership
- Case management
- Experiential therapy
- Family systems therapy and education
- Group therapy
- Holistic recovery
The Raleigh House Apps
We provide two apps for ongoing support in recovery. The first app is for our alumni clients and the second is for their families. Our goal is to make it easy for our clients and families to stay connected with others even after the main recovery program.
The Raleigh House Continuum of Care
The Raleigh House has helped more than 1,000 people transition from substance use to sobriety. We partner with our clients to discover the right combination of outpatient care services and assistance to help them both maintain sobriety and balance work/life obligations after inpatient treatment.
