Aftercare

Rehab can be one of the hardest steps on the path to recovery from addiction, but it is also one of the most important. Ocean Recovery Centre offers a free 12-month aftercare support package for all clients who have completed a 28-day rehab programme at the clinic to help avoid relapse. The team at Ocean Recovery provide crucial support and guidance as clients transition back into their daily lives with a tailored plan for each individual.

Relapse prevention is one of the biggest issues tackled after the detox period during residential rehab treatment. The aftercare team at Ocean Recovery are available to help clients who have successfully completed rehab treatment to implement coping skills, outcome expectations and maintain the management of lifestyle factors and cravings. The team are also there for clients to discuss any worries and address some of the early signs of relapse such as:

• Detrimental changes in eating habits
• Sleep disturbance
• Exhaustion
• Emotional isolation

Although it can be a difficult transition to return to society after rehab treatment, the team at Ocean Recovery are on hand to provide support to clients who are struggling.

What factors influence aftercare?

Aftercare plans are designed around the below factors:

• The client’s age
• The sex of the client
• The addiction
• Typical client behaviours
• The clients’ medical history
• The social environment
• The professional/work environment
• History of the clients’ rehabilitation

Ocean Recovery’s aftercare service is person-centred with a holistic care approach, fully focused on recovery pathways for all clients. It can be difficult for past substance abusers to return to ‘normal’ life outside of addiction, so it is an extremely beneficial service to have access to 12 months of free aftercare.
