As detox comes to an end and patients leave our campus, true addiction recovery begins. This is the vital time when an individual begins incorporating the healthy lifestyle strategies and routines they learned under our care into their daily life. Recognizing this crucial challenge in an individual’s recovery, the Mandala Healing Center’s Aftercare Recovery Program provides unmatched support as the patient transitions out of our detox program, and integrates back into daily life. Our Aftercare Program consists of a variety of continuous care activities for lifetime support.

After leaving treatment, patients might wonder:

  • “Who will consider me for a job after rehabilitation?”
  • “How do I reconnect with old friends?”
  • “Who can I depend on or support?”
  • “How do I find those old friends who shunned me for drug use?”

The Mandala Healing Center makes sure our graduates aren’t alone as they begin to address these challenges.

Evening groups, recovery workshops, and individual therapy sessions are some of the options that the individual and primary counselor will consider as part of a customized addiction treatment aftercare program.

Active alumni groups of graduates from Mandala also facilitate the creation and preservation of friendships made throughout the program, with individuals who completed the program months or years ago.

The Mandala Healing Center staff is committed to helping our patients develop the necessary life skills for a lifetime of health, sobriety, and happiness, both during and long after their stay at our campuses.

As part of Mandala Healing Center’s Holistic approach, we recognize that treatment is only the beginning of the recovery process and a much longer journey comes after completion. Because of this, Mandala offers Alumni Support Services which are uniquely designed to meet the needs of all individuals who wish to utilize them, through venues such as: Follow up call support throughout the first year from the point of discharge:

  • Social Media support
  • 24 hour phone/text support available
  • An expansive resourcing for connection with support communities
  • Weekly meetings
  • Monthly meetings
  • newsletters
  • outings
  • events

…and much more. In addition, Mandala recognizes the need for Family wellness, and so families are also followed up on periodically through the year and provided many of the same support systems mentioned for our Alumni. Both programs are always in a state of growth, as Mandala’s goal is to meet the needs of all those who come here throughout their journey.
