Depending on the clinic, your may develop a personal aftercare package or plan, while you’re still in
treatment – this is an organic process between you and your Recovery Manager.

There are a number of things to consider. If you have any questions regarding your own specific
circumstances at this early stage, let us know: 0121 285 3430

This is a brief guide of what to expect once you leave treatment – engagement is aftercare is very
important. We encourage all our clients to carefully consider their life once discharged from
treatment and back home.

Aftercare is not compulsory, but if you’re serious about making fundamental changes to your life and
freeing yourself from the shackles of addiction, then the first year is the most vital period where
relapse prevention methods are key

Relapse prevention involves applying the tools you have learned while in treatment to your daily life
with family, friends, work colleagues and activities. You are not alone in this process.

You might feel a little overwhelmed once you’ve left treatment – here, your treatment clinic would
likely encourage you to engage in aftercare activities – addiction counselling, meeting or phoning an
AA/NA sponsor, booking a Skype therapy session with your recovery clinic, among other approaches
– we can advise you today.

Some people opt for more intensive aftercare options following discharge from rehab. This can
include a weekly or bi-weekly appointment with an Addictions

Therapist, Skype therapy with your chosen clinic or privately-run group therapy in your area.

There are lots of ways to ensure your aftercare is robust. We can help you plan.

There are currently AA and NA meetings running in Birmingham. We encourage regular engagement
in recovery meetings or activities to help reinforce the positive aspects of staying clean.

You will find socialising with others in sobriety very comforting and positive.

Partner clinics typically offer free aftercare group meetings on site. These meetings are very popular
and help former clinic patients to stay clean and sober.

Group therapy is very powerful – and often misunderstood. Talking openly and honestly in a
therapist-led group of people in recovery and getting feedback from your peers is very meaningful.

We know addiction, we know about therapies that have proven to work for 1000s of people in the UK
and across the globe – we can help you.

We’ll listen to your story and help you begin your journey. Tailored care provides you with the tools
your need to live a more peaceful and happy life away from drugs and alcohol.
