    What is addiction aftercare?

    Addiction aftercare is ongoing support provided to individuals after completing a primary treatment programme aimed at maintaining recovery and preventing relapse. Key components include continued counselling or therapy and participation in support groups. Think of aftercare as your safety net; offering continued support to help you stay on track and protect the progress you have made during rehab. This is very important because the first weeks and months after leaving rehab are when relapse often occurs as the sanctuary and structure are suddenly taken away.

    Addiction aftercare at Linwood House

    Not every rehab centre provides aftercare, but we don’t just wave goodbye once you finish your residential treatment at Linwood House. In fact, everyone who completes a rehab programme with us is provided with a full year of aftercare completely free of charge. This involves weekly group therapy sessions on an outpatient basis where you can keep getting the support you need from our friendly, experienced therapists.

    These group sessions are all about giving you a space where you can talk openly – whether it’s about a tough day or a big win. You will also meet other people who have completed rehab with Linwood House, so you can share advice, swap stories and remind each other that you are not doing this alone.

    You may know some of these people from your stay with us, while others may be new friends and peers you have never met before. Either way, staying connected with the Linwood House community can make a huge difference, helping you stay on track and feel supported every step of the way.

    What are the benefits of receiving aftercare?

    Aftercare can provide a huge number of benefits, especially as you start to rebuild and navigate your life after rehab. Let’s break down some of the key benefits which can help you stay on course and adjust to post-rehab life:

    Relapse prevention

    The main goal of aftercare is to help you steer clear of falling back into old habits. Life after rehab can throw plenty of challenges your way, particularly as you are exposed to your old triggers again. While you were in rehab, you had a safe space to focus on yourself. But back in the real world, triggers can pop up unexpectedly.

    During aftercare, you will have the opportunity during therapy to discuss any tough moments you are facing. Your therapists can provide the tools and guidance you need to resist temptation and stay on the right path, and you can also hear how your group therapy peers have dealt with similar obstacles.

    Personal development

    Aftercare isn’t just about staying sober – it is also about continuing to grow and evolve. You will learn many skills and coping mechanisms during your time in Linwood House, and aftercare will help you build on the progress you have already made and set you up for lasting success.

    This often means creating new routines that actually support your recovery. Without the structure of rehab, it is easy to lose your way again, but aftercare helps you create daily routines that keep you on track, busy and living your best life.

    A supportive community

    One of the best parts of aftercare is connecting with others who truly understand what you are going through. Having a community of people who have faced similar struggles can be incredibly comforting, particularly as addiction can be a very isolating experience. Group therapy reminds you that there are people who are in the same boat who are cheering you on and can help you stay motivated.

    Renewed relationships

    As well as keeping you connected to your therapists and recovery peers, aftercare is also important for healing relationships with your loved ones. Addiction can take a serious toll on personal relationships, leaving things messy and complicated. Rebuilding trust and mending broken connections isn’t always easy but aftercare offers support to slowly rebuild healthy, meaningful relationships with the people who matter most to you.

    Mental health support

    Recovery is about more than just physical health – it is also about maintaining a healthy mind. At Linwood House, our aftercare programme includes therapy and counselling to help you work through any lingering issues that may have contributed to your addiction in the first place. It is all about making sure your mental health is in a good place, giving you the emotional strength you need to keep moving forward with confidence.

    For example, one of the biggest challenges after rehab is figuring out where to go from here, and this uncertainty can have a major impact on your mental health. Group therapy during aftercare can help you reconnect with your goals and passions, giving you the guidance to explore new hobbies, activities or ambitions that make life feel meaningful again.

    Extra support from the UKAT Alumni Network

    Alongside Linwood House’s aftercare programme, you will also be invited to join our Alumni Network with all our other clients and those from our sister UKAT centres. This ensures that you are surrounded by people who have been through the same ups and downs and can offer advice, support and a good laugh when you need it.

    Our Alumni programme organises meet-ups and events where you can catch up, share your experiences and just have fun. It is about being part of a community that celebrates your wins, no matter how small and stands by you during tough times.

    While aftercare group therapy is provided for a year, membership of our Alumni Network is for life! This means that the friends and connections you make can continue to support your recovery for years to come.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does aftercare typically cost?
    For all Linwood House and UKAT clients, aftercare is completely free for an entire year. We believe aftercare is a vital part of recovery, so it is included as part of your treatment programme. That means when you finish rehab, you will still have access to ongoing support without having to worry about any extra costs.
    Does every rehab offer aftercare?
    No, not all rehabs offer aftercare, which is why it is so important to choose a rehab that does such as Linwood House. Aftercare helps you stay connected to the support you need once you have left rehab and it can make a huge difference in maintaining your progress. Always check if aftercare is included when you are looking for the right rehab for you.
    Does NHS rehab come with aftercare?
    NHS rehab does not always come with aftercare which can leave a gap in support once your treatment ends. That is why finding a rehab that offers a strong aftercare programme, like Linwood House, can be so crucial for long-term recovery success.
