What to Look for in Post-Rehab Support and Addiction Aftercare
Addiction aftercare is more than continued meeting attendance and abstinence. Your sobriety and success in recovery are dependent upon what you do to support your mental and emotional health while remaining sober. Addiction aftercare, at The House of the Rising Son or with any rehab program, will be a critical part of your continued recovery. Whether you are coming out of a residential treatment program or an intensive outpatient program, aftercare will be just as crucial as treatment itself.

The Basics of Addiction Aftercare Planning
Addiction treatment is often personalized and planned to suit your individual needs and support requirements. Aftercare is no different. Planning for what you do after you complete your treatment program is a critical part of your exit strategy.
Your addiction aftercare should include:
- Continued, ongoing therapy and counseling
- Support groups and/or peer support
- Co-occurring mental health disorder treatment
- Sobriety supporting lifestyle (nutrition, fitness, mental health modalities)
- Relapse prevention planning
- Accountability
- Employment
As with any goal, planning and preparation are key. The better prepared you are and the better supported, the more likely you are to be successful after addiction treatment.
Addiction Aftercare Essentials with The House of the Rising Son
At The House of the Rising Son, we believe in the importance of addiction treatment aftercare and offer support and transitional counseling as you exit your treatment program. We can help you with an aftercare program, tailoring it to fit your availability, needs, and goals.
San Clemente addiction aftercare with our team may include:
- Group and individual counseling: With group and individual counseling as part of your aftercare, you gain insight into why your behaviors exist, how they mirror the behaviors and actions of your peers, and how understanding them can help prevent drug abuse or alcohol use in the future. Gaining the knowledge of the way humans interact with traumas, life events, and stressors through counseling helps addicts identify triggers and patterns.
- Therapy and/or family counseling: Treatment that involves therapy, family counseling, and co-occurring disorder therapy will help you have the tools you need to prevent relapse, to identify triggers, and to discern when you need to change your surroundings or lifestyle to support sobriety.
- Events and Workshops: Continued participation in events and workshops at your rehab facility will keep you connected with peers who have similar goals, continue your education and understanding of your behaviors, and help you feel supported rather than alone in your recovery.
- Sober living: Our team can help you find sober living, provide guidance in transition to sober living, and help with employment and lifestyle preparedness. We understand that transitioning out of rehab can be stressful and scary, and we want to help you feel confident and prepared for what comes next.
