Post-Treatment Program

Please note, our program is currently on hold as we focus on expanding its reach within the community.

The Post-Treatment program is an aftercare program essential for clients who return to Fort McMurray after completing residential treatment programs. It is important to support individuals as they transition from an intensive treatment program back into their new lives in recovery. Post-treatment clients often have no support, housing, or employment when they complete treatment.

Pastew Place provides a safe place to stay during this transition period while individuals look for productive employment, find permanent housing, and build support networks and alliances.. This program ensures that individuals transition smoothly back into the community and decreases the risk of returning to former habits and routines, which may present a risk of relapse.

Our Post Treatment Aftercare Program was developed back in 2005 and was designed as the final part of the continuum of care we offer at Pastew Place. For a good majority of individuals who are in early recovery, the hard part starts after they complete residential addiction treatment programs. This is where they take the tools they have learned and put them into practice in real life. This can be very overwhelming as people are faced with stressors such as finding housing and stable employment all while building a solid foundation in recovery. This is a fragile time; in treatment many individuals are getting into the root cause of their addiction which is more often than not trauma they have experienced in their lifetime. This three-phase post treatment program allows individuals some time to adjust to their new life in recovery while they continue to heal and focus on a strong recovery program. When a person has spent much of their life in active addiction and that lifestyle is everything they know, we cannot expect them to walk out of a treatment program and automatically know how to live a sober life. There needs to be ongoing support, especially through this time which has a substantial risk of relapse.

The three phases of the Post Treatment Program are stabilization, maintenance, and transition. Each phase covers significant milestones in which there is a real concern and a high rate of relapse. Clients are able to go through these times in a supported environment where if there are challenges or stressors, staff can catch them and guide them in the right direction of various supports they may need, rather than the individual becoming overwhelmed and slipping back into old coping methods of using. We are also there to continue to encourage and acknowledge the accomplishments individuals make. It has the power to motivate and inspire individuals to stay on track and continue to work towards their recovery goals. Positive encouragement can help to foster a sense of hope and provide the necessary support to help individuals stay committed to their recovery.
