Aftercare: What Happens After Treatment?
Family therapist and addiction specialist Carl Arrogante discusses Aftercare – what happens after treatment – in this Special Report.
What Happens After Treatment?
Sober living
The recovery process has its challenges. It requires a lot of hard work and dedication, but it also requires the right environment for successful sober recovery.
When addicts and alcoholics get out of treatment, they often struggle to maintain the recovery if they head straight back to their old lives.

This is where sober living homes come in. Sober living is a great place for addicts and alcoholics to begin the recovery process after they get out of treatment.
Individual counseling
Post-treatment counseling is where the psychological component of addiction can continue to be addressed.
Helping the client to overcome a number of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder known as PTSD.
By considering the continuing care and counseling and its many benefits, the individuals efforts are less likely to lead to a relapse.
Life skill classes
The way to recovery involves repairing the damage that addiction has done. Without this repair, every day may be a struggle.
After the cravings and substance abuse have been alleviated, a person must find relief from guilt and the ability to solve problems again.
Life skill classes help the individual to get reintegrated into the community as a clean and sober person.
Group therapy programs
Group therapy programs like 12-step programs are available throughout the world. Many treatment programs begin to teach the principles of the 12-steps in the early stages of recovery.
Family or relationship counseling
Family likely played a role in the development of the individual’s addiction. It may have been a critical factor in the decision to choose to go to treatment.
Each person may have been hurt by the individual in a different way as they went through their addiction and journey to accept treatment.
Each one of them will benefit from attending certain therapeutic sessions with the individual, and the recovery will benefit as well.
