aftercare services
Recovery assistance programs
Aftercare services are support and treatment provided after the main phase of care has ended, particularly following hospitalization, rehabilitation, or substance abuse treatment.
These services help people transition back to daily life and maintain progress made during primary treatment.
In medical contexts, aftercare might include follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or wound care; in addiction recovery, it typically involves counseling, support groups, and relapse prevention programs.
