Continuing Care Services for Your Recovery Journey

Before leaving residential treatment, you will meet with your primary counselor and alumni coordinator who will help you develop an individualized continuing care plan – your personalized road map for recovery.

Your continuing care plan includes recommendations from the entire treatment team at Hanley Center: nursing, psychiatry, psychology, spiritual, wellness, and your primary counselor. Each will make recommendations to address your individual needs for ongoing recovery.

Recommendations for your continuing care may include a broad range of services to address your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health, including (but not limited to):

• Extended residential treatment
• Transitional living facility (halfway house)
• Intensive outpatient program
• Individual or group outpatient psychotherapy
• Psychiatric care
• Appointments with primary physician and/or specialists
• 12-Step meeting groups
• Age- or gender-specific aftercare support groups


• Family support groups and/or Al-Anon, Alateen
• Nutritional counseling
• Involvement in physical activity

If you live in South Florida, you may attend weekly continuing care meetings on campus free for up to six months. Similar arrangements can be made with out-of-town treatment facilities. There are also 12-Step meetings on campus you may attend at any time.

In addition, your alumni aftercare coordinator will assign you a Hanley Center alumni or AA/NA contact where you live and have you call him or her before you leave. Your coordinator will also review support groups with you and help you identify a 12-Step group for you to attend in your area.

When you have completed your treatment, your alumni coordinator will assist and support you in your recovery for two years and beyond.
