Our aftercare also provides individualized support for every patient. Many of the highly trained staff members have been personally affected by drug addiction, which makes the compassion and trusting relationships formed at the aftercare facility unique.
In the days following your rapid detox, you will be mentally and physically adjusting to the change of no drugs in your system. For example, some patients experience trouble sleeping and confusing mood swings. These difficult side effects of detox can lead some patients to relapse.
While you may be tempted to return immediately to your family members and close friends, these loved ones often do not have the right experience to help you navigate the detox process, especially if you are experiencing anxiety or other side effects. Our professionals provide compassionate care with a balance of experience and medical knowledge.
By visiting aftercare after your detox, you are able to receive the professional medical care you need to continue your recovery with as much comfort as possible. During your stay, you will receive 24-hour observation, medication management as prescribed, meals, rest, and supportive care, with therapy and counseling options available if you are interested.
On Day 5, your care team completes a final assessment, arranges aftercare and follow-up planning, prescriptions, and next-step referrals, and sends you home with clear guidance for the days ahead. Follow-up care may include medication management, including Vivitrol or oral naltrexone where appropriate, recommendations for counseling and recovery programs, and referral connections to specialists.
