Is there aftercare?
Aftercare is the second phase of treatment. The impetus of Residential Treatment can fade. When drinking/drug taking is removed there will be big gaps which will need to be filled. The person leaving Treatment is still fragile in this and the possibility of still drinking/drug taking is still there. In treatment people are introduced to AA which is one accessible and effective way for people with a drinking problem to remain sober. (We can also put you in contact with Narcotics Anonymous). We also encourage the person and families to return to the Centre for counselling on a regular basis.
