Our aftercare program supports and engages clients for a minimum of 12 months after treatment, helping them build life skills, connect with others in the local recovery community through peer events, and rediscover self-sufficiency and resilience in recovery.

Last year 75% of those who stayed engaged with us through our aftercare program remained sober for a year or more–well above the national average of 30-60% sobriety rates within 90 days of treatment.

If you're stuck in a cycle of use and want to get your life back, please reach out. We’re here to provide you with the support you need and deserve to begin, and maintain, long-term sobriety.
