Addiction Aftercare Program with Recovery Ways

Recovery Way’s Aftercare Programs are for patients who have successfully completed a recent addiction treatment program in Utah. Completing addiction treatment is an accomplishment worth celebrating. The aftercare and Alumni Programs help patients develop and maintain a sober lifestyle. These aftercare programs in UT are based on the needs and recommendations for each individual to help them get back to where they were before their addiction or and in many instances even to a better place. A key piece of the programs is the development of community-based support. A strong support system is necessary to maintain freedom from addiction.

During your aftercare treatment program, we work with you to plan your new lifestyle and activities. This includes self-monitoring, attendance at activities like 12 step meetings, scheduled reporting with your therapist and ongoing support as needed. As an individual in early recovery, you will go back to friends, family, work, and hobbies but we will help you recognize your triggers and choose the right people to keep in your renewed sober life. As life changes, you will continue to have access to our staff for support and assistance. We will work with you to help you maintain your sobriety, we understand that stress and other triggers do happen. Life does change and Recovery Ways want to give you the tools to deal with those changes in an appropriate manner.

After rehabilitation, you will have experienced new activities with new people and in a safe, sober, scheduled setting. We use these experiences to open your mind to new possibilities of fun, excitement, and sober activities that you can continue once you are out on your own. Many new recovering addicts find that once they are on their own they feel lonely and bored. Often times this can serve as a relapse trigger for people new to recovery. Through our recreational therapy, Alumni Program continued support from our staff and your family, we have given you connections to new sober people and activities to help you maintain your healthy sobriety. You will have a new understanding of life and the fact that you do not have to use alcohol or drugs to be happy or enjoy activities. We will help you build new routines and schedules that offer you the structure and support that you need. Even though you have completed your addiction treatment, it does not mean that you are alone. We will be there every step of the way to see all of your accomplishments and help when things may become difficult. Recovery Ways makes sure that you have everything you need to maintain your healthy sober lifestyle.

12 Step Programs

Recovery Ways focuses on providing treatments that are time-tested and proven effective, which is why some of our therapies are based in the principles of the 12-step program. In the 80+ years since it was first developed in 1935, the 12-step program has shown itself to be one of the best ways to help recovering addicts get sober and stay sober — particularly when it is offered in conjunction with a range of treatment options that complement its best features. At Recovery Ways, we utilize the 12-step program alongside our other treatment offerings to ensure that our patients have an effective and well-rounded treatment plan.

It is our hope that 12-step meetings will become a part of your routine, during your treatment with us and after. There are more than 50,000 Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other specific addiction groups nationwide, so you will always be able to find a support system when you need it. When you feel as though things are getting difficult and you may need help getting through a craving, these meetings will help. If you are starting to experience more stress in your life and can feel yourself gravitating toward drugs or alcohol to deal with it, there will always be someone to lend an ear at a 12-step meeting. Even if you do not have a craving at the moment, the community and support that builds at these meetings will be helpful if you ever do — and you can serve as part of someone else’s support system by attending.

Meeting new people that have a sober life will help you to also remain sober. The 12 Step Program offers support, understanding, and accountability to people who want to overcome their addiction and the meetings encourage social support and reliability.
