Aftercare Program

Aftercare Program

The shift from treatment to life on your own is a key moment in learning how to make recovery work in everyday life. It’s when the tools and progress you’ve built in treatment start to meet the challenges of daily living, and having the right support can make all the difference. At Next Step Recovery, our aftercare program is here to provide structure, guidance, and support as you navigate this next phase of recovery.

Staying Connected with Aftercare

Aftercare is a structured program that helps you transition from treatment to independent living by staying connected to the support you need. It includes regular check-ins, one-on-one sessions, and group meetings, all designed to keep you accountable and focused on your recovery. By providing consistent guidance and practical tools, aftercare helps you navigate real-world challenges while building on the progress you’ve made.

Aftercare at Next Step Recovery serves as a transitional outpatient program. While clients who live in our sober living and supportive housing attend intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) with our trusted partners, our aftercare program ensures they remain connected to the tools and accountability needed for long-term success.
