Aftercare Treatment Program In Asheville, North Carolina

Our Aftercare Program

Our aftercare program is designed for individuals who have completed an addiction treatment program and want to maintain the skills and strengths they’ve learned. This includes clients who’ve graduated from partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, day treatment, or our partnered treatment programs. Clients in aftercare receive regular post-treatment services based on their unique and individual needs, including one-on-one counseling, group meetings, family therapy sessions, alum events, and more.

Why Is Aftercare Important?

Aftercare is an essential bridge between rehab and long-term recovery and acts as a much-needed safety net. It can be a big adjustment to return to everyday activities and responsibilities after spending time in an intensive treatment program surrounded by a supportive recovery community and caring staff.

Continuing to live clean and sober in a world with drugs, alcohol, and stress can be overwhelming and isolating if an individual isn’t connected to a sober community. Substance use disorders affect approximately 10 percent of US adults, and 40% to 60% of them will potentially relapse within 12 months.

Research indicates aftercare increases positive treatment effects and is particularly beneficial for clients who struggle to adjust during the initial months of treatment. Aftercare eases the transition out of treatment and offers ongoing therapeutic support and community. Clients won’t feel alone when they have the support of a plan designed around their specific needs.

What’s Included In Our Aftercare Program?

Here are a few services and treatment options included in our individualized aftercare program.

• Continuing individual therapy and counseling: Clients are connected with local therapists and clinicians where they can attend weekly, biweekly, or monthly therapy visits to maintain recovery skills and overcome new difficulties.
• Support groups: We host in-person and online group therapy sessions where alums can share experiences and tackle new challenges they’ve experienced after treatment.
• Alum events and reunions: Every client who completes our treatment program can join the Oasis Alumni Community, which hosts weekly support meetings, private groups, reunions, excursions, and local community events.
• Relapse prevention planning: Clients regularly meet with aftercare specialists who can update strategies, coping skills, and support systems that address new triggers, cravings, or high-risk situations.
• Family follow-up counseling: Friends, family members, and relatives can regularly meet with their loved one’s clinician to review their progress after treatment.
• Medication management: Clients struggling with mental health disorders and substance cravings can continue to receive medication or dual diagnosis treatment while in aftercare.
• Partnerships with sober living homes: We can connect clients who don’t have a stable living environment during recovery with sober living homes local to their area.

Benefits Of Aftercare Treatment

Aftercare is a great opportunity for individuals in recovery to continue to connect and deepen relationships with others, check-in, and find support for issues that come up as they continue to solidify their sobriety in everyday life. Our aftercare program provides the following benefits:

• Reinforces skills and healthy coping strategies
• Creates realistic, sustainable self-management goals
• Establishes long-term accountability and acceptance
• Keeps you connected to peers, treatment staff, and other positive influences
• Provides ongoing medication-assisted treatment
• Increases confidence and can reduce relapse rates
• Keeps you personally active and engaged in your recovery

How Aftercare Treatment At Oasis Recovery Is Different

Unlike many addiction treatment centers, Oasis Recovery does not dismiss or forget about clients once they’ve completed treatment. Every client who enters Oasis becomes a member of our extended recovery family and is encouraged to join our aftercare program.Additionally, every client’s aftercare treatment plan is customized to their unique needs.

For example, if a client struggles to maintain sobriety during the holidays, we can increase the number of times they meet with their counselor during those months and get them involved in sober events and activities that still provide connection and enjoyment. If a client’s home is far from one of our treatment centers, we can still connect them with local therapists, private practices, and support groups.

Is Aftercare Right For You?

Our aftercare program is perfect for those who:

• Struggle to maintain sobriety on their own
• Feel isolated or alone after treatment
• Need help making health decisions about lifestyle, activities, and relationships
• Want to identify future triggers and prevent relapse
• Want to minimize the damage and effectively respond to relapse
