Aftercare & Life After Addiction Treatment
Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is a lifelong process. Addiction is a chronic medical disease that, like other chronic diseases, requires follow up care to reduce the risk of relapse. Aftercare, more commonly referred to as “continuing care” is a broad term that encompasses a period of less intensive treatment following a more intensive initial treatment episode. It is used to continue and reinforce skills and progress made in initial recovery and is generally recommended following initial treatment of substance use disorders.1,2 This article will discuss rehab aftercare and how treatment facilities like AdCare provide ongoing support to people in recovery.
