Post-treatment support for drug addiction
It is essential that you or your loved one has post-treatment support following treatment for drug addiction.
Support network
An important element of post-treatment support is establishing a support network. We help you to set up a support network which might include:
- friends
- family
- general practitioner
- psychiatrist, psychologist or counsellor
- local community health team.
Day patient programs for drug addiction
Post-treatment support is also provided through our range of day patient programs which extend the skills learned during our treatment program. Find out about day patient programs.
Steps to recovery from drug addiction:
- trust your support network
- see our treatment program as a new beginning
- take care of yourself
- ask questions about our treatment, including medications and their possible side effects.
