It doesn’t matter if it takes them a week, a couple of months, or even years. When a person has completed inpatient treatment options, outpatient mental health treatment and services are a popular next step in managing one’s mental health issues. Sober Recovery Community is a preferred program.

What Is an Aftercare Program?
Aftercare programs are dedicated to increasing the chances of long-term sobriety within recovering clients. The right motivation and adequate resources can go a long way in helping people stay clean as they walk the road of recovery.
This type of program should be baked into any successful recovery plan, as there is an undeniable need for continued support post-treatment. Relapsing is a real possibility, and clients who struggle with addiction may also have mental health issues. When the two are combined, it makes the recovery effort that much more challenging.
Aftercare is dedicated to understanding a client’s mental state and needs, which can then assist in maintaining a sober lifestyle. Typically, this involves understanding triggers, developing coping mechanisms for cravings and stressors, understanding the dangers of a relapse, and preventing a lapse from escalating. Sober House Philadelphia ensures that these aftercare efforts are supportive, comprehensive, and tailored to each individual’s journey.
Does Sober House Philadelphia Provide Aftercare Programs?
Sober House Philadelphia understands the importance of comprehensive and sustained aftercare for individuals on the path to recovery. In partnership with our trusted clinical provider, we offer aftercare treatment at various levels to support continued growth and stability.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured outpatient option for clients transitioning from residential treatment. This program allows participants to receive intensive care on a consistent schedule while residing at home or in a sober living environment.
We also offer an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that meets several days a week for a few hours each day. This format is ideal for individuals balancing recovery with everyday responsibilities. The IOP includes a range of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Shame Resilience Training.
Once clients complete PHP or IOP, they can move into our Outpatient Program (OP) for ongoing support. This level of care includes weekly one-on-one therapy sessions and group check-ins, helping clients ease back into independent living while remaining connected to a recovery community.
Sober House Philadelphia also offers individualized case management to help clients maintain momentum after completing a sober living program. This includes support with goal tracking, medication adherence, and staying engaged with their recovery network.

How Long and How Frequently Will You Need Aftercare?
Give us the opportunity to understand your unique situation so we can help guide you toward the most effective aftercare plan to get your life back on track.
At Sober House Philadelphia, we understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to aftercare. Each client is at a different point in their recovery, and even individuals at similar stages often have very different needs.
That’s why we take the time to assess each person individually before recommending a level of care. Skipping this step could lead to a generic, impersonal experience—something we avoid entirely. Our approach is centered on clear communication and personalized attention, making sure each person feels seen, heard, and supported.
As mentioned, our aftercare options vary in structure and intensity. For example, someone might benefit from a highly structured schedule involving six-hour sessions, five days a week. Others may only need a lighter schedule—perhaps a couple of hours, once or twice a week. Whatever your needs, we tailor the plan to support your recovery effectively and sustainably.
How to Know if You Need an Aftercare Program
Recovery is rarely a linear journey, and ongoing support is often key to staying on track. Being part of an aftercare program significantly improves your chances of maintaining lifelong sobriety.
These programs begin with a thorough assessment of your mental health, personal needs, and triggers. From there, our dedicated team at Sober House Philadelphia works to create a tailored plan that helps you build coping strategies and ensures you feel supported throughout the process.
While some individuals may need more intensive care than others, we encourage everyone entering recovery to consider some form of aftercare. It’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by either too much or too little structure during this stage—that’s exactly why we collaborate with trusted providers to offer flexible, needs-based programming.

A Supportive Journey Beyond Initial Recovery
When someone leaves treatment, the path ahead matters deeply. At Sober House Philadelphia, we understand that ongoing support can make all the difference in your recovery journey.
Recovery isn’t a one-time event—it’s a lifelong journey. About half of people in recovery experience some setbacks along the way, with the first three months being especially challenging. While your chance of staying sober improves with each day, having the right support system remains crucial.
Think of recovery like managing a chronic health condition. There’s no quick fix, but with proper care and attention, you can lead a fulfilling, healthy life. Leaving recovery to chance, without proper support, often leads to unpredictable and difficult outcomes.
Our aftercare programs offer both personal treatment benefits and a sense of belonging that strengthens your commitment to sobriety. The community you’ll find here provides emotional strength when challenges arise.
Without this kind of ongoing support, recovery becomes significantly harder. Even more importantly, if you experience a temporary setback, our aftercare program offers the understanding and guidance needed to get back on track. Without this support, brief slips can too easily become major setbacks.
What Happens If I Relapse During an Aftercare Program?
Relapse is one of the most common concerns among those in recovery—and understandably so. Many see it as a complete failure, but the truth is that a slip doesn’t mean you’ve lost the battle. The danger lies in the discouragement that often follows, which can lead to further regression.
At Sober House Philadelphia, we remind our clients that they are human. A relapse does not define your journey, and more importantly, it does not disqualify you from healing. Our aftercare programs place a strong focus on this reality, helping you process setbacks without shame or self-judgment.
We educate clients on the difference between a lapse and a full relapse and help them use these moments as motivation to stay on the path to sobriety. Even if someone experiences more than a minor setback, we believe no one is beyond recovery. Our program fosters a safe, judgment-free space where you can speak openly about struggles and receive the support needed to move forward.
