What Is Aftercare?
Aftercare is a form of ongoing support available after completing a formal addiction treatment program. It is a vital component of addiction recovery as it helps you maintain your sobriety and prevent relapse.
Addiction is a chronic disease, and recovery is a lifelong journey. Therefore, we offer comprehensive aftercare services to our clients to support them in maintaining their sobriety long-term.
Types of Aftercare Available at Green Acres Wellness
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is one of the essential components of aftercare, as it provides one-on-one support with a trained therapist. It addresses your unique needs and challenges in recovery and helps you work through emotions and negative thought patterns that could lead to a relapse.
Individual counseling addresses specific mental health or addiction-related issues that may arise during the aftercare process. It also helps promote long-term recovery by providing ongoing support and encouragement.
For example, individual counseling can help promote long-term recovery by helping you identify triggers and develop strategies to navigate them. It can also help you set goals and make plans to achieve them.
Group Counseling
Group counseling is a valuable component of aftercare that allows you to connect with others going through similar experiences. It provides a setting where you can share your experience, struggles, and successes in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Group counseling can help you feel less alone in your journey and provide a sense of community and belonging.
Participating in group counseling is also an excellent opportunity to learn from others and gain different perspectives. It can help you develop a sense of empathy and understanding for others who may be going through similar struggles. Group members can offer each other support, feedback, and guidance as they work towards their goals.
Group therapy sessions are usually led by a licensed therapist who structures sessions around specific goals or objectives. It is focused on developing coping skills, managing emotions, developing deeper connections with others, and addressing problematic thought patterns or behaviors. Sessions often follow a particular therapeutic approach, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or dialectical behavior therapy.
Support Groups
Support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and other 12-step programs are also helpful forms of aftercare. These programs are free, anonymous, and non-professional groups of individuals who come together to support one another in their recovery. These groups offer a sense of community and shared experience that can make your journey less intimidating. They also teach valuable lessons, such as taking responsibility for your actions, forgiving, and making amends.
Support groups are designed to provide emotional support, encouragement, and shared experiences to individuals coping with similar issues, such as addiction or mental health conditions. Meetings are usually led by a peer or moderator who is also a group member.
Though similar to group therapy, support groups tend to be less structured and more informal, allowing for more flexibility in discussions and activities.
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy focuses on the whole person, taking into account your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. It recognizes that you are complex and that factors contributing to your challenges are multifaceted.
We offer a range of holistic therapies that can support your overall well-being, such as art therapy, yoga, pickleball, and more. These therapies can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as manage physical symptoms related to withdrawal or mental health conditions.
They also offer opportunities to connect with others, build a sense of community, and engage in meaningful activities that promote well-being. For example, art therapy uses creative expression as a means of communication and healing. Clients can explore and express difficult emotions through art, which can be therapeutic and restorative.
Another example of holistic therapy is the use of nature-based therapies such as outside Yoga. It takes place outdoors in a natural setting and aims to help you understand and appreciate the natural world, which can promote a sense of connection and perspective. It also teaches you to bond and form relationships with horses and other animals, which can be valuable sources of emotional support.
