Aftercare programming at Pillars Health Group are thoughtfully designed to support individuals who have successfully completed our Full-Day or Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Programs. Our Aftercare Program offers a structured yet flexible framework to help clients maintain progress and continue developing the coping skills necessary for a sustained recovery.
Typical Schedule for Aftercare Group Sessions
Aftercare Schedule
Participants in our Aftercare Program are expected to attend one weekly individual therapy session and a full day of group therapy. Aftercare therapy sessions focus on personalized support, addressing ongoing challenges, and reinforcing the gains made during the initial phases of treatment.
An individual therapy session is available between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and some locations may also offer evening and virtual sessions. This provides a wide window for clients to schedule at their convenience and accommodate their personal and professional obligations. A full day of group therapy would typically take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Aftercare Options
For group sessions, clients have the option to choose between two powerful therapeutic approaches: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). This flexibility empowers individuals to select the modality that best aligns with their personal needs and therapeutic preferences.
Both group options aim to build community support and foster continued growth in emotional regulation, communication, and relapse prevention strategies.
Following Aftercare
While the typical duration of Aftercare is one month, this timeline is not rigid. The program is designed with adaptability in mind, allowing some individuals to continue beyond that initial period based on clinical recommendations and personal motivation. Pillars Health Group’s commitment to long-term wellness ensures that those who need extended support have access to it, fostering a sustainable path toward lifelong recovery.
Aftercare at Pillars Health Group bridges the gap between structured treatment and independent living. It acts as a vital stepping stone for clients to solidify their recovery foundations and navigate real-world challenges with continued professional guidance and peer support.
