JUMP TO A SECTION...
At Carolina Center for Recovery, recovery doesn’t end when primary treatment does. Our aftercare program is designed to provide ongoing clinical support, connection, and accountability to help clients maintain sobriety and navigate the challenges of post-treatment life.
Whether you’ve completed outpatient care or are stepping down from a more structured program, our aftercare services help bridge the gap between treatment and independent living.
Continued Support for Lifelong Recovery
Aftercare is a structured but flexible form of ongoing support that includes regular check-ins, peer-led groups, relapse prevention, and access to community resources. This stage of care helps individuals stay grounded, build routine, and reinforce the skills gained during treatment.
At Carolina Center for Recovery, aftercare is individualized and may include:
- Weekly or biweekly therapy sessions
- Support group meetings
- Continued access to case management
- Alumni community events
- Assistance with housing, employment, and goal planning
What Is Aftercare?
The early months following treatment are some of the most vulnerable. Aftercare helps reduce the risk of relapse by providing:
- Ongoing emotional and mental health support
- Continued accountability and structure
- A safe space to process real-world challenges
- Opportunities for connection with alumni and peers
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, approximately 40–60% of individuals treated for substance use disorders relapse within the first year of recovery. Staying connected to clinical care, even in a reduced capacity, can make all the difference in maintaining long-term recovery.
