Aftercare Support

We believe recovery is a lifelong journey. After completing detox and residential care, continued support plays an essential role in preventing relapse. Without aftercare support, treatment success can unravel in the face of triggers and isolation. Our aftercare support services are designed to mitigate the chances of old patterns taking hold, increasing the likelihood of you staying sober.

We help you stay connected to your treatment program and guide you into the next chapter of recovery with determination and strength.

What is aftercare support?

Aftercare support is the ongoing guidance, community, and structure our clients receive after completing a primary addiction treatment program. These services help people maintain sobriety, manage real-life stressors, and stay grounded as they reenter everyday life. Whether that includes participation in support groups or access to community resources, aftercare ensures that your recovery can withstand real-life challenges.

At Sheridan Grove Recovery, aftercare support is not an afterthought—it’s an essential part of our comprehensive approach.

You'll begin your journey to sobriety in a peaceful and supportive environment. Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the Rocky Mountain foothills, our drug and alcohol rehab near Denver offers 80 beds for inpatient care and a comprehensive suite of services designed to aid recovery.

Who benefits most from aftercare support?

Everyone who completes a treatment program can benefit from aftercare—especially those who:

  • Have experienced relapse in the past
  • Lack consistent family or social support
  • Are navigating co-occurring mental health concerns like depression or PTSD
  • Are transitioning back to demanding work or home environments
  • Want to stay engaged with a recovery community

Recovery is highly personal, and your path forward should reflect that. Our team tailors aftercare plans to your needs, goals, and strengths, whether it's your first time in recovery or you’re regaining your footing.

Why is aftercare support necessary?

The weeks and months after residential treatment can feel both hopeful and overwhelming. You’re suddenly back to your normal routine, possibly surrounded by the same triggers and stressors that were present before treatment, especially if your living situation hasn’t changed.

Aftercare offers stability during this transition, by providing:

  • Continued emotional support through peer and professional connections
  • A buffer against isolation, which can trigger relapse
  • Reinforcement of the coping skills learned in treatment

Without structured aftercare, individuals are more vulnerable to setbacks, especially when faced with high-risk situations or emotional turbulence. Staying connected to a peer community that understands the journey truly makes all the difference.

What should I expect from aftercare at Sheridan Grove Recovery?

Our aftercare support services are as intentional as our inpatient and detox programming. Aftercare at Sheridan Grove Recovery includes:

  • Relapse prevention planning: Tools and strategies to anticipate and navigate potential triggers
  • Access to continued therapeutic support: Including referrals for counseling and support groups
  • Community resources: Help navigating employment, housing, education, and health services

The risks of not participating in aftercare

There’s no doubt that completing a residential program or medical detox is a powerful first step—but without aftercare, clients face heightened risk of relapse, particularly in high-stress or unsupportive environments. Aftercare provides the safety net and accountability you need to stay motivated and focused on your dreams.
