Addiction treatment is just the first step toward a healthier, substance-free life. What comes next is a much more difficult process for most people to go through \u2014 the day-to-day commitment to lifelong recovery. We know it\u2019s hard, which is why all of our treatment programs include a variety of alumni services<\/a> that can be used after a client completes their stay with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Addiction is a disease with no cure, and relapses are incredibly common; in fact, around 40% to 60% of people use substances again<\/a> after treatment. However, a momentary stumble doesn\u2019t mean recovery is lost forever. With alumni resources like aftercare planning, relapse prevention plans, peer support and ongoing check-ins, people in recovery can learn helpful strategies for staying sober and find help when they\u2019re struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a client completes rehab treatment, they\u2019ll work with a team of addiction experts to create a customized aftercare plan<\/a> that fits their unique needs. Aftercare planning may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Related Topic:<\/strong> Halfway Houses vs. Sober Homes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n After completing treatment at our rehab facility, clients gain access to a number of recovery apps, online portals and related services that foster an easier transition back to day-to-day life. Not all of these resources are strictly recovery-related; we also provide career and financial advising, family-friendly alumni events and much more. Here are some of the helpful services that alumni can enjoy throughout their recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After completing a treatment program and registering with our patient portal<\/a>, clients can take advantage of a wealth of helpful online resources. The portal provides many tools that promote wellness and recovery, such as guided yoga lessons, online journaling services, educational videos, addiction resources, support and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our telehealth app<\/a> also provides clients with easily accessible therapy. All a person needs is a smartphone, tablet or computer to speak with a professional and develop new strategies for lifelong recovery or find ways to improve mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Recovery Village also provides several resources that are freely available to anyone, whether they attended one of our facilities or not. We offer these to help improve ongoing recovery, raise awareness and allow people to learn more about addiction treatment and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our online recovery meeting service allows people to host and participate in video group calls. With the ongoing pandemic, it\u2019s more important than ever for people to find safe but effective ways to stay in touch. This service provides a private and confidential way for support groups to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We offer many video resources about addiction and recovery, both on our website and our YouTube channel<\/a>. These videos cover a wide range of topics, including mental health, different types of substances, recovery stories, FAQs, facility walkthroughs and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Recovery Village often hosts continuing education webinars<\/a> for professionals, but these presentations hold a lot of value for anyone looking to learn more about addiction. Whether you\u2019re a professional looking to expand your knowledge, a person in recovery hoping to find wellness tips or someone struggling with addiction, there\u2019s something for everyone in these content-filled webinars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Support groups help people in recovery connect with others who are going through the same or similar situations. These groups help members commit themselves to recovery, find a helping hand when they\u2019re struggling and share strategies that worked for themselves. We provide a helpful guide<\/a> that covers the different types of groups and how you can find them in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In most support groups, people who are doing well in long-term recovery may sponsor newer members. This creates a direct lifeline that sponsees can use when they\u2019re struggling. The sponsor provides guidance, encouragement and companionship throughout the early stages of recovery. It can make all the difference in helping someone get more practice at sober living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you or someone you love is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, help is available at The Recovery Village at Baptist Health.
