Aftercare for Lasting Recovery | Plum Creek Recovery Ranch in Texas

Individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) benefit from participating in self-help groups, therapy, and other aftercare services to maintain healthy routines and behaviors established during treatment. Continuing care provides clients structure, consistency, accountability, and ongoing support. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch offers comprehensive aftercare services and ongoing alumni support to help people continue healing from the effects of chronic substance abuse. 

Why Aftercare Is Essential for Long-Term Sobriety in Texas

We ensure clients in the Austin, Texas, area have access to aftercare services, including medication management and ongoing therapy, to support long-term sobriety. Aftercare also provides critical peer support during long-term sobriety. People report better outcomes when they have continued accountability and assistance managing symptoms. Aftercare programs reduce the risk of relapse and offer access to a thriving, sober community. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch provides eight weeks of aftercare services to clients who may benefit from the additional support.

The Importance of Compassion and Continued Care After Residential Treatment

We offer alumni aftercare planning to ensure they feel engaged and in control of their recovery. According to the Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment, “[T]here is convincing evidence that continuing care can be effective in sustaining the positive effects of the initial phase of care.” Our compassionate team of professionals collaborates closely with clients and their loved ones to determine what aftercare services will give them the best ongoing support. 

Comprehensive Aftercare Services at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch

Our individualized aftercare plans help people stay on track beyond treatment, offering them additional guidance and access to essential peer activities. Aftercare services also engage former and current clients in the sober community at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch. 

Some of the aftercare services we provide include: 

  • Weekly telehealth therapy sessions from the same primary therapists providing residential and outpatient care
  • Relapse prevention strategies to strengthen coping skills and address triggers 
  • Referrals for medication management to ensure clients have ongoing access to medication
  • Holistic therapies to continue healing the mind, body, and spirit during aftercare
  • Meditation, mindfulness, and other powerful tools for managing stress and anxiety 
  • Family therapy and community support for rebuilding relationships after addiction treatment 
  • Information on local self-help groups to motivate and provide positive social connections

We tailor aftercare plans to each client’s circumstances and unique needs. Every person deserves to be treated with respect and compassion throughout each stage of the recovery experience. Our clinicians regularly check in with clients and their loved ones to ensure they can access the support they need to continue healing.

Why Choose Plum Creek Recovery Ranch's Alcohol Rehab Program

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in Aftercare

Evidence-based therapies provide clients with a safe space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs as they continue to grow and heal in aftercare. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are two of the most effective forms of psychotherapy for treating addictive behaviors and co-occurring mental health disorders. We use both modalities during our weekly telehealth therapy sessions to help clients in aftercare gain confidence in their ability to maintain lasting sobriety. 

CBT helps clients transform negative thoughts and behaviors, replacing them with healthy alternatives. DBT offers a new way of looking at recovery and mental health by showing people how to overcome challenges and problem-solve more effectively. Both forms of therapy promote emotion regulation and give clients additional coping skills to support lifelong sobriety. 

Your Path to Sobriety: Life Skills and Relapse Prevention in Aftercare

Developing life skills for stress management helps clients maintain daily sobriety. We offer ongoing support after clients transition from residential or outpatient rehabilitation programs. Our continuing care services promote long-term success through continued access to individual therapy and referrals to local recovery resources. Ongoing support services include weekly therapy appointments and check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days to ensure clients and their loved ones have maintained progress on recovery goals. 

Relapse Prevention Techniques: Understanding the Stages of Relapse and How to Stay on Course

Our relapse prevention strategies teach clients to recognize the signs and symptoms of each stage of relapse, ensuring they have the coping strategies to manage stressors. 

The three stages of relapse include: 

  • Emotional Relapse: During emotional relapse, people experience persistent unwanted emotions, including irritability, restlessness, unhappiness, or ambivalence about recovery 
  • Mental Relapse: Emotional relapse involves multiple unhealthy thoughts, including intrusive memories of people and places associated with past substance abuse, cravings, and thoughts or sensations related to past substance abuse
  • Physical Relapse: Individuals physically relapse if they use alcohol or drugs 

We ensure clients learn practical coping strategies for managing cravings, triggers, and other symptoms of SUD. Clinicians give clients the tools and resources to build a resilient mindset and avoid relapse. 

Supporting Your Recovery Journey With Compassion and Expertise

Our addiction recovery and mental health experts guide clients through the treatment process with compassion and empathy. We understand everyone has a unique recovery journey. The clinicians at Plum Creek Recovery Ranch utilize a wide range of therapeutic modalities to treat clients and provide ongoing support to alumni. Continuing care services allow clients to feel more in control of their recovery and mental health as they move through the different levels of care. 

Transform Your Life Today: How to Enroll in Our Aftercare Program for Continued Care

Aftercare allows people to reintegrate into their community while maintaining accountability for their continued sobriety. Clients use aftercare services and community-based programs to establish healthy routines and avoid relapse. We tailor aftercare plans to meet each client’s needs, ensuring they have a safe and nurturing space to explore various aspects of recovery with mental health and addiction recovery specialists. Plum Creek Recovery Ranch provides aftercare support and referrals to outside resources for continuing care. Individuals transitioning out of our residential or outpatient programs benefit from our comprehensive aftercare support. 

Alumni Support for Ongoing Sobriety

Our alumni use community events, workshops, and additional services to maintain lasting sobriety after completing treatment. Some alumni use aftercare services to establish new routines that support recovery, while others have a solid support system and may not need the extra structure of continuing care. We offer every alumni access to community activities and events, regardless of their current stage of recovery. Many people build self-confidence and essential skills by engaging with peers and being role models to individuals still participating in treatment. Alumni play an important role in uplifting and empowering current clients who have just begun their recovery journey.

Aftercare helps clients maintain sobriety during the transition between structural treatment and independent sobriety. Weekly individual therapy sessions, community events, referrals for medication management, and information on local self-help groups are a few of the services offered in aftercare.
