What is Aftercare?
Aftercare is a broad term used for a treatment team and patient plan before treatment at a center, increasing the chances for success afterward.
There are various types of aftercare substance abuse programs to choose from. Each individual must tailor plans according to specific needs, location, and available resources.
Relapse is less likely when a solid aftercare plan is not only created, but executed. Recovering patients are more likely to focus on recovery when they have plans in place and additional support at home and in their communities.
Inpatient and outpatient treatment programs are just a small part in the scheme of recovery.
Creating a plan while in PHP or IOP that transitions to aftercare rehab programs are always encouraged.

Personal Aftercare Plan
Once clients step down from inpatient treatment programs and are in partial hospitalization programs or intensive outpatient programs, they begin to engage in more detailed conversations with treatment teams surrounding life after treatment.
Generally, clients take an honest at look everyone and everything involved in their lives. They will be guided to ask themselves some of these common, aftercare-planning questions:
- What people, places, or things are barriers to my recovery?
- What are my top triggers at home, at work, and in the community?
- Who can I truly go to in a time of need?
- Who will my mentors or sponsors be?
- What will my emotions be like when I return home?
- What do I need to do to work on and mend relationships?
- What will my job situation be when I return home?
- What will my daily schedule consist of?
- Which support groups will I attend?
- When will I see my individual and family therapists?
- What plan is in place if I relapse?
Of course, there are many other questions one might ask themselves during the process of creating aftercare plans. These plans are individualized to each person, especially since each person has unique home, work, and community situations outside of our facility.

The Transition to Aftercare
The process of transitioning from a treatment facility in any capacity can cause a lot of worry. Thoughts and questions run through our clients’ minds. They wonder what it will be like to return to the same places and to see the same people now that they are sober and working diligently to stick with recovery. There may even be difficult emotions to work through such as guilt, shame, fear, and resentment.
These feelings are completely normal. This is why preparing in advance with an aftercare plan is so important for all recovering clients.
There are a variety of steps individuals who are transitioning out of rehab can attempt to relieve some of the challenging thoughts and feelings. Options include meditation, exercise, journaling, talking with a mentor, and creating positive plans for the future.
Most importantly, the time will come when clients must choose which aftercare programs they will become involved in.
Addiction aftercare programs for substance abuse are everywhere. Those living in or near large cities will have more options, although towns and rural areas may also have some to choose from. In the end, everyone will have some sort of aftercare option where they live— even if it is virtual.

Do I Need a Sponsor?
Simply put…YES. All recovering addicts need a sponsor, whether it be through a 12-Step program or a different aftercare program.
Having a sponsor is just too beneficial to miss out on the opportunity for guidance, friendship, tough love and empathy.
According to addiction experts, sponsorship has incredible benefits such as:
- Sponsor/sponsee relationships keep both people accountable and on track with their own recoveries.
- Sponsors provide emotional and practical support, stay in close contact with sponsees, share personal experiences, and encourage sponsees to attend meetings.
- Sponsees can do their part by attending and volunteering for meetings and participating in sober activities.
- The sponsor/sponsee relationship is a vital part of the recovery process, but addiction treatment comes first.
Those who are in PHP or IOP programs and can get out in the community, while also remaining in treatment, can start attending AA/NA meetings and develop relationships with sponsors. Meanwhile, sponsors can prepare sponsees for life after treatment.

Why Choose ARISTA ?
Going to Arista Recovery was the best decision I’ve ever made. The counselors helped me grow in my recovery journey, from someone who was shy and uncomfortable sharing my feelings to a leader in meetings who now understands the reasons for my struggles and how to move past them.

A few people in my AA group went to Arista Recovery and they only had nice things to say about it. When I went through a short relapse I followed their advice and went there to get my head straight, and I’m so glad I did. Getting help at Arista is what stopped my mistake from defining my life again.

My journey towards sobriety has definitely been a complex one full of ups and downs, but Arista Recovery helped me change the pattern and now it’s mostly ups! I’m at my personal sobriety record and I honestly can’t see myself taking a drink anytime soon. It’s hard work but I am so grateful I have the chance to do it with the tools that were given to me by Arista Recovery.

I know how hard it can be to find a good treatment center, as my daughter has been to quite a few while dealing with her alcoholism. But the biggest change I’ve seen by far has been thanks to Arista Recovery! After her treatment here, she seems so full of life again and I’m so glad that I have my little girl back.
