One of the most important aspects of overcoming drug and alcohol addiction is to have a plan for your future. Our staff here at Avalon Malibu knows that relapse is a common symptom of addiction and may be encountered months or even years down the road.
Upon completing our initial detox and full recovery program, we will help you design your aftercare plan before returning to your daily life.
Benefits Of An Aftercare Plan
There are several benefits and reasons why every patient must have a thorough aftercare plan before leaving our treatment program.
-
On-Going Counseling
Throughout your treatment program, you will participate in a variety of therapies and counseling services. Upon completion of the program, it is important to continue with these counseling and therapy sessions to prevent a potential relapse.
We understand that many forms of mental illness contribute to the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol. These conditions often require long-term counseling and treatment. Our aftercare plan includes ongoing counseling services to fully treat mental health conditions.
-
Support System
Before you leave our treatment program we will help you create an aftercare plan that includes a strong support system. This system can include counselors, family members, friends, and even members of your church.
Because a potential relapse can occur at any time, you should have a variety of people in your network that can help you avoid falling into the trap of addiction. Our trained staff is also available to offer support to our patients after they have completed the program if needed.
-
Sober Living Facilities
We realize that some of our patients do not have a sober environment to return to upon completing our treatment program. If you are unsure of the stability of your home environment, we can help you transition into a sober living facility.
These facilities offer you the amenities of home with the ability to return to normal activities of work or school while being surrounded by a strong sober support system. Sober living homes are a great way to meet new people and build a support system for your new sober lifestyle.
