Aftercare Programs at Changes Rehab For Ongoing Support
Changes Rehab's aftercare programs offering continuous support, therapy, and support groups to prevent relapse and maintain sobriety.
CONTACT NOWAt Changes Rehab, the process doesn’t end with the completion of a treatment program. The transition back to everyday life can be challenging, and ongoing support is crucial. Our aftercare programs provide continuous assistance to help individuals maintain their sobriety and build a fulfilling, substance-free life.
Preventing relapse is a critical aspect of aftercare. Our programs offer a variety of resources and strategies to help individuals stay on track. Participation in support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is encouraged. These meetings provide a supportive community where individuals can share their experiences, gain insights from others, and receive encouragement to stay sober. In addition to 12-step meetings, we offer peer support groups tailored to specific needs and preferences. These groups provide a safe space for individuals to discuss their challenges and successes, fostering a sense of belonging and accountability.
Continued therapy is another key component. Regular sessions with a counselor or therapist help individuals address ongoing issues, work through triggers, and develop coping strategies. Personalised therapy ensures that the unique needs of each individual are met, promoting mental and emotional well-being. Group therapy sessions provide a platform for individuals to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. Facilitated by a professional therapist, these sessions encourage open communication and mutual support.
Our aftercare programs include workshops focused on relapse prevention, stress management, and life skills development. These workshops equip individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of life without relying on substances. Scheduled check-ins with aftercare coordinators help monitor progress and provide additional support as needed. These check-ins ensure that individuals remain engaged and can address any emerging issues promptly.
Involving family members in the process is crucial. Our family support programs educate loved ones about addiction and support, helping them understand their role in supporting the individual. Family therapy sessions also work to rebuild trust and improve communication within the family unit.
Research shows that individuals who participate in aftercare programs are more likely to maintain their sobriety long-term. Aftercare provides a structured environment where individuals can continue to grow and develop healthy habits. The support network built during aftercare plays a vital role in helping individuals stay accountable and motivated.
At Changes Rehab, we recognize that each individual’s needs are unique. Our aftercare plans are tailored to meet the specific needs of each person, taking into account their progress during treatment and their personal goals for the future. By offering a range of resources and support options, we ensure that individuals have the best possible chance of sustaining their sobriety.
Our commitment to our clients extends beyond their time in our treatment programs. We are dedicated to providing the ongoing support needed to prevent relapse and promote lifelong sobriety. With Changes Aftercare Programs, individuals are not alone; they have a network of support that stands with them every step of the way.
Assessment
A private clinical assessment clarifies risks, co-occurring concerns, and immediate next steps. We gather history, current symptoms, medications, and family input to match the right level of care. If admission is appropriate, we help you plan timelines and documentation so things move quickly. Learn how assessments work and what to expect on the day.
Withdrawal is managed under medical oversight to reduce risks and improve comfort. Nursing support is available 24/7, with medication protocols tailored to clinical need. Detox prepares patients for therapeutic work—sleep, nutrition, and stabilisation come first. See what to bring, typical timelines, and how we coordinate pre-authorisation.
The first 21–42 days focus on routine, safety, and daily therapy. Patients engage in individual and group sessions, psycho-education, and family contact where appropriate, supported by a multidisciplinary team. Primary care builds early momentum for change and prepares the plan for the next stage.
Secondary care deepens the work on patterns, triggers, and trauma in a calmer setting. With structured days, therapeutic groups, and coached routines, patients practise skills that hold at home. Families are updated and involved appropriately. Explore typical lengths of stay and why secondary care improves long-term outcomes.
For step-down care or when residential treatment isn’t possible, outpatient combines evening groups, one-to-one therapy, and accountability. The focus is integrating recovery into daily life—work, study, and family responsibilities—while maintaining structure and support.
Sober living provides a structured, supportive home environment with curfews, chores, coached routines, and ongoing therapy. It bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and independent living, reinforcing accountability and community while returning to work or study.
Patients learn how to spot risk early and respond fast—managing triggers, cravings, and high-risk situations. We build practical routines, communication plans, and support networks, with clear steps families can take too. See typical tools and how they’re practised before discharge.
Continuing care sustains progress after discharge: scheduled check-ins, group support, individual sessions where needed, and a plan for setbacks. We coordinate with families and community resources to keep recovery anchored in daily life.
