What Are Aftercare Programs in NJ?

Addiction aftercare programs in NJ are organized forms of support and assistance after an individual has completed inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment. Aftercare is crucial to helping clients overcome difficulties they may encounter in the initial stages of recovery and maintain momentum in their recovery journey. Up to 85% of substance users experience a relapse in the first year, but that number can be reduced with the right support system 

Excel Behavioral Health’s addiction aftercare programs are designed to help clients support their recovery through therapy, education, and connection to the community. These programs help to decrease the likelihood of relapse and help clients to get their lives back on track.

Why Aftercare Is Important for Long-Term Recovery

Recovery is a process, not a single point on a timeline. In fact, without a plan for continuing care, those in recovery are likely to encounter one or more of the following risk factors for relapse: Triggers. Emotional distress. Lack of accountability or support. Research supports this: receiving aftercare treatment is associated with higher odds of long-term recovery. For many in recovery, aftercare is the process of solidifying coping skills, relearning healthy routines, and navigating life without substances on an even keel.

At Excel Behavioral Health, we believe aftercare is an integral component of the recovery process for substance use disorders. Aftercare is about more than reducing the risk of relapse or recurrence. We are also interested in fostering positive development, helping you move through recovery to thrive long after treatment has ended.
