Continued guidance for lasting recovery
Addiction Aftercare Services in Los Angeles
Treating mental health and addiction together
What Is Aftercare?
Aftercare is the continued support you receive after completing structured drug & alcohol addiction treatment such as detox, residential care, PHP, or IOP. It focuses on helping you maintain stability, build healthy routines, and navigate real-life stressors without returning to substance use. While early recovery can feel overwhelming, aftercare provides consistent guidance and emotional support to help you stay on track.
Through ongoing therapy, mental health support, and personalized recovery planning, our aftercare program strengthens the foundation you built in treatment and prepares you for lasting change.

Is Dual Diagnosis Right for You? Here’s Why It Can Change Everything
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does, it evolves. Aftercare is the ongoing support that helps you maintain progress, manage real-life stressors, and continue building the coping skills needed for long-term sobriety. This structured guidance lowers relapse risk, strengthens emotional stability, and gives you a safe space to stay accountable as you transition back into daily life.
Who Dual Diagnosis Treatment Is For
Aftercare is recommended for anyone completing a structured level of treatment or stepping back into daily responsibilities. It’s especially helpful for individuals who:
- Want continued therapy and emotional support
- Need help managing stress, triggers, or cravings
- Have co-occurring mental health conditions
- Benefit from accountability and structured guidance
- Are building new routines after residential or outpatient care
- Want access to a community and continued clinical support
If emotional symptoms and substance use are tangled together, dual diagnosis care provides the structure, stabilization, and therapeutic support needed to heal both.
Why Aftercare Matters
After completing detox, residential inpatient rehab, or outpatient treatment, many people still face triggers, pressure, and emotional challenges that can feel overwhelming. Without continued support, these moments can easily lead to setbacks and relapse. Aftercare provides consistent therapy, coaching, and check-ins to help you stay focused and confident. It reinforces healthy habits, improves emotional regulation, and ensures you have professional support whenever life becomes difficult, making long-term sobriety far more achievable.
