Understanding the Outpatient Aftercare Program

Our Aftercare Program is designed for clients who have completed a higher level of care and are ready to transition to a less intensive level of support. This program helps individuals maintain progress while fully engaging in work, school, family, and daily responsibilities. At Emerald Wellness, our Aftercare Program meets every Thursday from 6 PM to 7 PM, offering the ongoing encouragement and connection needed to sustain recovery and foster long-term wellness.

What the Aftercare Program Involves

The Aftercare Program provides weekly evening group sessions, giving clients a flexible way to stay connected to support while reintegrating into their communities. Each week includes:

  • Weekly Group Sessions: A one-hour group held on Thursdays, focusing on relapse prevention, coping skills, and ongoing emotional support.
  • Continued Skill Practice: Opportunities to apply CBT, DBT, and mindfulness skills learned in earlier programs to everyday challenges.
  • Peer Support: Connection with others who share similar experiences, creating a sense of community and encouragement.
  • Family Integration: Guidance and support to improve family communication, rebuild trust, and create a healthy environment for recovery.
  • Resource Connection: Access to referrals and community resources to help with long-term reintegration and stability.

This ensures they have built a foundation of coping skills before stepping into a less intensive program. However, eligibility is always assessed on an individual basis, and our team will work with you to determine if Aftercare is the right level of support for your needs.
