Aftercare
For Wellness
Once in stable recovery, patients are encouraged to continue to receive support and stay connected to their therapist, to peer support, and to the Wholeview community. In aftercare, patients attend individual sessions once each week initially and taper to once each month while they simultaneously work with our peer supports to build resources and support structures outside of the program.
These support structures are often found in outside mutual support groups (SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma/Refuge Recovery, Alcoholics/Narcotics Anonymous), athletic teams (e.g., running, volleyball, or softball leagues), participation in hobbies (e.g., book groups, board game meetups, genealogy research groups), religious organizations, or other activities patients find interesting and exciting.
Because addiction is a chronic health issue, recurrence can be part of the recovery process. Patients work with therapists to plan for these emergencies in advance so that they are not taken by surprise if they occur. Staying in contact with the Wholeview community can help patients keep minor slips from becoming full relapses.
