What happens after treatment?

The Refuge offers a number of support arrangements to our clients after treatment and much effort is put in to Aftercare planning. A strong Aftercare Plan with accountability has been shown to be greatly effective in maintaining successful and rewarding recovery. The Refuge has referral connections with therapists, sober houses, halfway house, psychiatrists and specialty programs across the country and with international resources.

The Refuge treatment program includes one year of recovery monitoring and case management assistance with Southworth Associates. In addition to providing this highly successful monitoring service, our clients are linked with 12 step recovery resources and involvement with a strong Alumni program that offers multiple recovery events throughout the year with an annual Alumni Reunion. The Refuge will make all possible efforts to address any individual or specialized needs prior to a client’s discharge to ensure their greatest success during the initial year post treatment; this may include housing, case management issues or other related client needs.

The Refuge is committed to providing ongoing assistance to all of our alumni and remains a resource for support, encouragement and referrals in support of recovery.
