Aftercare and Recovery Support

Aftercare and Life After Rehab

Leaving rehab is a big achievement, and the start of something new. The weeks and months that follow matter just as much as your stay. That is why we plan your return home from the very beginning, so you leave with a clear plan, the right support and people in your corner.

If you need help right now: If you or someone else is in immediate danger, has taken an overdose or needs urgent medical help, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111. You can also call Samaritans free on 116 123, day or night, or FRANK on 0300 123 6600 for confidential drugs advice. Our enquiry forms are not monitored as an emergency service.

Why Aftercare Matters

Going home means returning to familiar places, people and pressures. The first weeks can be the most challenging, and that is completely normal. Good aftercare gives you structure, connection and someone to turn to, so you can keep building on the progress you have made.

Your Plan for Staying Well

Before you leave, you and your recovery worker create a personal aftercare plan that covers:

  • Where you will live and what support you need there
  • Your daily routine including work, study or activities
  • Your support network family, friends and services
  • Your triggers and the ways you have learned to cope
  • Who to contact if things get difficult
  • Appointments with your GP and local services

Building a Life in Recovery

  • Home: Help to find or keep safe, stable housing
  • Purpose: Work, training, education or volunteering
  • Relationships: Rebuilding trust with family and friends
  • Health: Registering with a GP and looking after your physical and mental health
  • Community: Finding new interests, places and people

If Things Get Hard

A lapse is not a failure, and it does not undo everything you have achieved. What matters is reaching out early. Contact your recovery worker, your local drug and alcohol service or someone you trust.

If you have not used for a while, your tolerance will be lower. Using the same amount as before can lead to overdose. If you use opioids, carry naloxone and never use alone.

Peer Support and Recovery Communities

Many people find strength in meeting others in recovery. National and local options include:

We will help you find meetings and local recovery communities near your home.

Families and Aftercare

With your consent, we involve your family in planning for home, so everyone knows how to support you and look after themselves.
