WHAT WE OFFER
MORE ABOUT AFTERCARE
Who Needs Aftercare?
The multifaceted disease of addiction cannot be cured with a single treatment, medication, or short-term program. Sustained sobriety requires a continual commitment that individuals must reaffirm each day. Hence, aftercare is a crucial component of every patient’s recovery program at The Recovery Village Indianapolis.
An ideal candidate for aftercare:
- Has completed the medical detox process
- Has successfully completed more intensive levels of care, such as inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs
- Possesses the necessary skills to maintain sobriety outside of rehab
- Demonstrates the desire and commitment to overcome addiction to drugs or alcohol
Life After Rehab: The Aftercare Process
Even weeks, months, or years after completing a formal rehabilitation program, patients still face the risk of relapse. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the relapse rate for drug addiction is between 40-60%, with even higher rates for alcohol addiction. However, as time passes in sobriety post-rehab, the likelihood of relapse decreases.
At The Recovery Village, we prioritize post-rehab success by structuring our programs around the skills necessary for lifelong wellness. In the initial stages of treatment, patients acclimate to sobriety, learn to modify harmful thoughts and behaviors, and delve into the roots of their substance use disorder. After medical detox and residential treatment, they progress to increasingly independent levels of care, such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. Here, individuals gradually gain autonomy, cultivate a robust support network, and develop deeper self-awareness and acceptance.
Upon completing these levels of care, individuals transition to the aftercare process. Aftercare signifies the shift from formal treatment to lifelong recovery beyond our facility’s confines. Before discharge, counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and physicians collaborate closely with each patient’s personal case manager to devise a comprehensive aftercare plan.
