The next step upon completion of treatment.

Aftercare is an essential element of any care plan and Life Works is committed to ensuring that our clients complete the treatment programs that we run with adequate support in place. This is achieved by offering a range of provisions to ensure that we offer our clients have whatever level of assistance they require.
During treatment, Life Work's dedicated Aftercare coordinator will evaluate each client's needs and work with them to formulate an individually tailored Continuing Care Plan. The Continued Care Plan will also include a number of elements, such as:

Weekly Aftercare groups

Life Works runs a weekly Aftercare group from its facility in Harley Street, Central London on Monday evenings (6:30 - 8:00pm) available to patients who have completed primary treatment with Life Works.

Returning home from treatment can be a confusing and testing time for anyone coming out of treatment. Without the necessary support, a great number of people relapse soon after completing treatment. Consequently, the sole purpose of the Aftercare Programme is to help clients re-integrate into their home environments with the support of other Life Works alumni, many of whom they may have already formed bonds with during their time spent in the therapeutic community of primary treatment.

Upon leaving Primary treatment, all clients are strongly encouraged to follow the detailed relapse prevention plan developed in primary treatment. This may include therapy, nutritional support, anonymous fellowship meetings, avoiding certain people or places etc. It must be stressed that Aftercare IS NOT an alternative to this plan but is a very valuable addition designed to allow clients to challenge and identify with each other within the safety of a therapeutic setting. Statistics show that, those who regularly attend Aftercare, therapy and anonymous fellowship meetings are significantly less likely to return to old behaviours than those who just do one of these elements.
