Individuals completing or nearing the end of inpatient addiction or mental health treatment are typically encouraged to develop an aftercare plan for substance abuse. However, many are uncertain about what an aftercare plan entails and the steps to create one.
At Interventions Canada, we align with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) in the belief that drug abuse alters brain function, and numerous factors can trigger drug cravings. It is crucial for individuals in treatment, particularly those in inpatient or residential facilities, to learn how to identify, avoid, and manage triggers they may encounter post-treatment.
Aftercare is the continuous support provided to individuals after they have completed formal treatment programs for addiction or mental health conditions. This support encompasses both inpatient and outpatient services designed to manage substance use and psychological disorders.
The objective is to assist these individuals in preventing relapse and maintaining their sobriety. Consequently, an aftercare plan for substance abuse often comprises ongoing therapy, peer support groups, sober living environments, and persistent monitoring.
A successful aftercare plan must be customized to meet individual needs. It supports you in maintaining sobriety and securing long-term recovery.
At Interventions Canada, we craft a personalized recovery plan. The aftercare plan offers structure and a directed path under the supervision of a professional case manager who ensures accountability at every stage. We collaborate with a referent to conduct an assessment and create an aftercare treatment plan, managed by our case management team, tailored to meet your specific needs.
