Post-Rehab Ongoing Support
A seamless bridge between treatment and the life you want to live
Completing residential or inpatient treatment is a significant milestone, but for many clients, the weeks and months after rehab can feel even more challenging. Daily life returns with all its demands, triggers, and uncertainties, and without careful support, this period can become a time of heightened vulnerability.
At Addiction Therapist London, I provide specialist post-rehab support and, for clients requiring enhanced discretion and responsiveness, a bespoke aftercare service. Both pathways are designed to help you navigate the first stages of recovery with stability, clarity, and confidence.
Why Post-Rehab Support Matters
Rehab offers a contained environment, but stepping back into ordinary life is where recovery is truly tested. Many clients tell me the early weeks bring unexpected challenges:
- Reintegrating into family, social, and professional roles
- Facing cravings or triggers outside a structured programme
- Managing shame, self-doubt, or “imposter syndrome” around sobriety
- Coping with emotional intensity when substances or behaviours are no longer used to regulate
- Re-establishing boundaries in relationships that may have been strained
Post-rehab therapy provides a bridge between intensive treatment and sustainable everyday recovery. It is not about repeating what you’ve already done, but about consolidating progress and applying it to real life in a supportive, private, and clinically informed space.
Ongoing Post-Rehab Support
My standard post-rehab service is designed for individuals who have recently completed inpatient or residential programmes. It provides continuity of care, relapse prevention, and psychological depth at a pace that feels manageable.
This work includes:
- Relapse prevention planning tailored to your specific risks and lifestyle
- Emotional regulation strategies for cravings, anxiety, or low mood
- Support with identity and self-worth as you adjust to life outside treatment
- Integration of therapeutic tools gained in rehab into your daily routine
- Addressing co-occurring issues such as trauma, attachment, or compulsive behaviours
- Rebuilding relationships with family, colleagues, or loved ones in healthier ways
Sessions are available in person in Harley Street Medical Quarter, St Paul’s, City of London or via secure online platforms for UK-based and international clients.
Extending Recovery Beyond the First Few Weeks
For many people, the real test of sobriety or behavioural change comes months, not weeks, after leaving treatment. My post-rehab therapy adapts to these shifting needs: initially offering more frequent contact to stabilise new habits, then tapering to a rhythm that supports independence. This approach allows you to practise new coping skills, consolidate boundaries and deal with real-world triggers as they arise all while knowing there is expert guidance and accountability available.
Personalised Recovery Planning
Every client’s post-rehab journey looks different. Some are rebuilding family relationships, some are navigating demanding careers, and others are processing complex trauma alongside addiction recovery.
We co-create a plan that fits your life, covering topics such as:
- Navigating workplace re-entry or professional reputation issues
- Managing secrecy, disclosure and boundaries with friends or colleagues
- Establishing healthy daily structures and routines
- Building a support network that aligns with your values (including or excluding 12-step groups)
- Exploring identity and purpose beyond addiction
This personalised plan ensures that therapy sessions stay relevant and targeted rather than generic, and it also supports a sense of progress vital in sustaining motivation during early recovery.
Confidentiality and Discretion
All post-rehab work takes place in a discreet, secure environment. For online sessions, as always I use GDPR-compliant, non-recordable platforms and store personal data and clinical notes securely with restricted access. Clients can be confident their privacy is protected at every stage.
Integrating Your Support System
Where helpful and always with your informed consent I can liaise with partners, family members or trusted medical colleagues to ensure a seamless approach to your care. This can include coordinated scheduling, joint sessions or discreet updates where appropriate. Boundaries around information-sharing are clearly agreed at the outset so you stay in full control.
From Standard Support to Bespoke Aftercare
While my standard post-rehab service already provides continuity and depth, many clients in early recovery request an even higher-touch option. For those who need rapid-response availability, more frequent sessions, or support across multiple time zones, I offer a separate Bespoke Aftercare Programme (up to six months). This premium service is individually costed after a full initial consultation and designed to meet complex schedules without compromising confidentiality or therapeutic integrity.
A Stable Platform for Long-Term Recovery
Whether you choose the standard post-rehab pathway or bespoke aftercare, my aim is to help you build a recovery that lasts not a temporary pause. By combining specialist knowledge of addiction, trauma and the realities of everyday life with a calm, clinically informed environment, you can move from survival to growth with confidence. To take the first step toward lasting recovery, book a complimentary 15-minute introductory call and explore how this approach can support real, lasting change.
