Many people view substance abuse treatment as a one-time thing. However, substance abuse isn’t something that just goes away after a stint at an inpatient drug rehab center. People have to continue to work toward their goal of sobriety.

As the name suggests, an aftercare program starts after people finish traditional rehab. The goal is to help people transition from rehab to normal life. Typically, they undergo a lot of stress once they re-enter society, and aftercare can make the transition easier.
It’s important to note that all aftercare treatment programs have different requirements. For example, some rehab centers require people to remain sober for a specified period before entering one of these programs. Others just require they complete a residential rehab program first.
Regardless of the requirements, it’s important that people don’t try to replace traditional rehab with just aftercare. They enjoy a lot of freedom during a sober living program. Those who haven’t done residential rehab may find the freedom overwhelming and end up relapsing.
Aftercare treatment tries to help people reach several goals. One of them is to rebuild their self-responsibility. The best centers don’t want people just to overcome addiction. They want them to become productive members of society.
These centers want their residents to hold themselves to higher standards. Aftercare treatment helps with that objective.
Aftercare treatment also helps people rebuild broken bonds with family members. The family is an essential cog in the recovery process. An aftercare program can return a family to a supportive and trustworthy state.
Another goal of aftercare is to help people regain financial stability. Just re-entering society isn’t enough for those who have businesses to run. These programs teach them the importance of economic independence.

Some people find that re-entering society causes a lot of stress. In fact, studies show that relapse risks are at the highest when people exit rehab for the first time. The sudden rush of freedom and pressure pushes them back to their drugs of choice.
However, an aftercare program can help control these urges. The program shows them how to build a support system outside of rehab. The development of a support network is critical for long-term sobriety. Support groups are the way to fill their lives with like-minded people.
The amount of time people should remain in aftercare varies. Some people can handle being outside a drug-free environment better than others. In general, they’re most likely to relapse during the first 60 days after treatment. However, getting over the 60-day hump isn’t always enough to ensure long-term recovery.
Most experts recommend that people enroll in at least a six-month program. During the six months, they gain a firm grasp of what it’s like out of the rehab environment. It also gives them time to build a reliable support system that they can count on even when aftercare ends.
