Midwest Addiction Recovery Treatment Program Aftercare ​

What Happens After Rehab?​

Life after rehab is where the real deal happens. Keeping yourself sober creates a meaningful life. But here’s the thing, you won’t have this happen at the snap-of-your-fingers. They say recovery is an ongoing gig, and they’re onto something there. It takes time and effort, but we are here to teach you and hold your hand through this process.

So, how do you actually make life after rehab work for you? Well, it kicks off with getting ready before you leave. Our aftercare planning begins during your recovery process. The aftercare planning happens side by side with your treatment to create a high-quality plan for your individual needs.

It is helpful for us to watch your recovery and understand what you will require in aftercare and what skills you will need to acquire for your continued sobriety. Now, everyone’s aftercare journey is like their own fingerprint – unique. Because, let’s be honest, personalizing treatment is the secret to a successful recovery story.
Here’s the name of the game for everyone: find a life in sobriety that seems like a breeze to continue.

However, continued sobriety isn’t going to happen at the push of one magical button; it’s like this combo platter of buttons and every person has their unique set of buttons on their platter.

Alumni Programs – Rehab naturally brings people together, forging tight bonds. Reaching a point where you can share your struggles with addiction isn’t a walk in the park, and it would be a shame to lose touch with those who supported you along the way. That’s where our alumni programs step in. They keep us connected and, most importantly, uphold that feeling of togetherness we experienced during rehab.

Outpatient Treatment – Once you’ve completed your time at a residential inpatient facility, the logical step is to shift toward our outpatient treatment program in Indiana. You’d continue living off-site, easing back into your everyday routine, all while attending scheduled counseling and therapy sessions at our center.

Sober Living Homes – Of course, moving directly from rehab back into your old life might pose some incredible challenges. Your previous neighborhood could be filled with triggers, and even your living situation or roommates might increase the risk of relapse. While treatment equips you with coping tools, immediate re-entry might be overwhelming. This is where sober living homes come into play. They offer another step in your recovery journey, where you reside with others committed to sobriety. These homes have clear rules and often require participation in support groups, serving as a comfortable transition to regain your independence. Fortunately, we have numerous sober living homes in Indiana in our vicinity.

Support Groups – These tools pack a strong punch when it comes to maintaining sobriety. Support groups offer a wide range of options, making it a simple task to locate the best fit for you with a bit of exploration. The big names include Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. AA is the pioneer behind the 12-step approach and leans toward spirituality and religion. However, alternatives like SMART Recovery cater to those seeking a group without that focus.

Setting that aside, the true worth lies in the chances to forge connections with individuals sharing your journey, adding an extra layer of responsibility to keep you on course for long-term recovery.
Sustained Family Involvement & Ongoing Therapy – The sheer act of continuing therapy holds its own advantages. Family stands as a remarkable pillar of support, and the more they comprehend addiction, the more valuable their contribution they add to your recovery. Regularly attending family therapy sessions in Indiana contributes significantly to long-term recovery.
