What happens if I feel like I might relapse after leaving?
This is exactly why we have an Aftercare plan. You will have a direct line to our clinical team and your alumni peers. If you feel a red flag moment, you contact us immediately, and we work through your Safe-Home strategy together to keep you on track.
Does my insurance cover Aftercare services?
Most PPO insurance plans cover the clinical aspects of aftercare, such as outpatient therapy (IOP/PHP) and psychiatric follow-ups.
