Program

Continuing Recovery Program

Structured follow-up to maintain gains, monitor relapse risk and reconnect patients with more intensive care when needs increase.

Available

The Continuing Recovery Program provides planned outpatient follow-up after an initial treatment phase, medical stabilization, hospital/residential care or improvement in recovery stability. The goal is to maintain progress, monitor changing risk, strengthen recovery routines and respond early when a patient needs additional support.

Who may benefit

  • Patients completing Therapy House addiction treatment
  • People returning from hospital or residential rehabilitation
  • Patients stepping down from more frequent care
  • People in stable recovery who benefit from scheduled clinical follow-up
  • Patients who need structured relapse monitoring

How this fits with other services: Behavioral Health & Addiction leads the recovery follow-up. Medical, family, nutrition or physiotherapy services may be added when ongoing needs justify them.

Scope & safety

Continuing care should not delay reassessment or escalation when substance use, withdrawal, medical instability or psychiatric risk increases.

Key disciplines

  • Behavioral Health & Addiction
  • Medical, family, nutrition or physiotherapy as needed

Not every patient receives every listed discipline; the mix is decided after assessment.

When outpatient treatment may not be appropriate

Severe withdrawal, overdose, seizure, delirium, medical instability or acute psychiatric danger may require emergency, hospital, inpatient or specialist care.
