Rehabilitation Aftercare Treatment Programme
Aftercare is an individualised treatment plan which can be implemented once the intense residential treatment programme has ended. Any treatment for addiction or mental health problems constitutes the beginning of a continuous recovery period. The weeks and months after leaving residential treatment can be difficult and returning home to an environment with potential triggers can be extremely challenging. For this reason, we provide carefully planned aftercare programmes with our core team.
Rehabilitation Aftercare
When a person enters a treatment programme they may be going through immense difficulties in their lives. Once they are in treatment, all of their energy is focused on managing withdrawal symptoms, processing difficult emotions and restoring their health. During your stay at Paracelsus Recovery, a team of professionals are focused exclusively on your wellbeing and recovery.
However, once you finish treatment many of the triggers, stressors and challenging relationship dynamics that heightened your difficulties prior to treatment can reoccur upon returning home. For example, it may be harder for an ultra-successful person to maintain sobriety when they return to an environment filled with pressure, responsibilities and stressful decisions than in a rehabilitation centre that emphasises tranquillity, health and wellbeing.
For this reason, we believe that providing careful aftercare treatment for individuals recovering from addiction, emotional or psychological problems is essential. At Paracelsus Recovery, our aftercare services are extremely flexible and will be based on each individual circumstance. We can provide you with an experienced therapist who will travel with you and assist in the transition to your home environment or arrange a more extensive team to provide additional support online or via on the ground presence. This can include psychiatry, specialist psychotherapy, couple and family therapy. In London, we can also provide ongoing functional medicine treatments. The aim is to help you implement what you have learned in treatment and to support you when difficult situations or decisions arise.
Aftercare is an additional service that is not included in our residential treatment programmes, we do however highly recommend engaging in aftercare. Prices for aftercare programmes are based on each client's individual needs and circumstances.
