Aftercare Addiction Medicine

It is now known that proper treatment for substance use disorders occurs along a continuum of care.  What this means is that detox alone or inpatient treatment alone is typically not sufficient to ensure lasting sobriety and abstinence from drugs and/or alcohol.  After inpatient rehab, ‘We’ve only just begun!’

Aftercare is a treatment model that operates in this awareness. There is a great need for follow up at regular intervals to check in with clients to see how things are going as we reintegrate back into the daily hustle and bustle of life.  Taking flight in success requires a safe harbor, and as the mind and brain heals, specific changes are occurring behaviorally and neurochemically that can be distressing without proper insight.  Often, an outpatient follow up can properly address these issues and reassure us that we are right where we need to be or let us know if any treatment modifications should be made.  We, at New Hope, offer structure and guidance in ways that align with the recommendations of your treatment facility and do not conflict with the specific goals that you have worked so hard to identify.  In short, we are here to add even more reinforcement to your personal growth in spirit, mind, body and social health.  Let us partner with you and your treatment facility to aid in a gentle but confident manner.
