After Care Programs

Transcend understands the need for comprehensive and sustained aftercare provisions for those who are on the road to recovery. To this end, we, along with our sister company, The Heights Treatment, provide aftercare treatment at various levels.

First, there is a partial hospitalization program (PHP), which is a comprehensive outpatient treatment program suited to clients who are transitioning from a residential treatment program. The structure of this program is very convenient, as treatment is completed on a consistent schedule while clients reside in their homes or a sober living facility.

Next, there is the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that also runs for several days weekly, and only requires a few hours daily. There are many addictions and mental health issues that clients struggle with that can be tackled with the various therapy options that fall under this program. Some of these include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Shame Resilience, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, etc.

Upon completion of other programs, such as PHP and IOP, there is a dedicated outpatient program (OP) for continued aftercare treatment. This program is geared towards a gradual reintegration into a healthy life for our clients. There are weekly individual therapy sessions, as well as a check-in group with peers.

Transcend and The Heights Treatment have created a workflow that allows clients to work through aftercare treatment with progressively greater independence. Of course, this is synonymous with different levels of accountability.

Additionally, upon completion of a sober living program, we offer our clients individualized case management to assist them. Therefore, they can keep meeting their goals, sticking to their prescriptions, remain connected to the Transcend community, etc.

Statistically, approximately half of people who enter recovery relapse at some point; additionally, most of these relapses occur within the first 90 days of recovery. While the likelihood of relapse decreases with each day a recovering person stays clean, that risk is always a factor.

The recovery process can be thought of in the same manner as one would consider the treatment of a medical condition, such as diabetes. While there is no hard and fast cure for the condition, there are treatment options available to manage it effectively. As a result, the affected individual experiences a consistently better quality of life. Leaving an illness to chance and not managing it can create an unpredictable situation that is likely to have a poor outcome.

These programs are designed to help clients in numerous ways. There is the individual benefit of having a program that provides treatment in the most optimal way possible. There is also a sense of support and community that contributes significantly to the mental fortitude that aids in staying sober.

If one does not enroll in an aftercare program, there is always the drawback of missing out on these benefits, which compounds the risk of a failed recovery. Aftercare also caters to those who have had a lapse, which can be a very discouraging experience and challenging to recuperate from. Without adequate support, a slip is almost certainly going to lead to a sustained relapse.
