Aftercare

Aftercare is a critical component in one's recovery process. Clarity Way works with each client to develop an individualized Aftercare Plan to meet his or her recovery needs post-treatment. It is important to establish follow-up care prior to leaving treatment that addresses continuing therapy, education and support.

Seamless transition of care is crucial, which is why our dedicated Aftercare staff works with each client throughout the program to create a comprehensive Aftercare Plan. Some components of the Aftercare Plan include follow up appointments via phone with Clarity Way Aftercare staff and follow-up phone therapy sessions with Clarity Way therapy staff. We also work with each client to identify out-patient or private practitioners for post-treatment care in the areas of addiction counseling, family therapy, support systems and any other areas necessary based on each client's individual needs.

Our Aftercare staff works diligently to help each client to develop a schedule so that upon leaving treatment the structure and stability practiced during treatment will continue. We understand the importance of continuing the work that our clients started in our addiction treatment program and each member of our therapy team provides a written summary of recommendations as a component of the Aftercare Plan. This summary can be utilized and referenced for personal and/or therapeutic use. Clarity Way staff works with each client to determine what he or she will utilize for post-treatment care, living situations, support systems and more. We assist with researching and selecting sober living arrangements, finding therapeutic services and acquiring support systems.

Our Aftercare staff keeps in contact with clients for a minimum of one year post-treatment so that we know how our clients are doing. We can assist with any issues that may arise. "Tune up" weeks and weekends are available through our Aftercare Program and we also hold an annual reunion for clients so that they can keep in contact with recovering peers. We do encourage clients to keep in touch with one another, as they can be a fantastic support system. Who better to lend a supportive ear than someone with whom recovery time was shared? We encourage our clients to utilize the Clarity Way Facebook page in order to keep in contact as well as the Clarity Way blog to keep informed about what's going on.

"Aftercare is the most important part of the treatment process – without it, much that is learned and implemented in treatment is not utilized, as there is no plan in place." – Robin Daniels, Facility Director. Our philosophy is that for treatment to be successful, aftercare has to receive the attention it needs and our program provides each client the resources to implement solid plans for post-treatment care.
