Aftercare By the time the IOPT client has reached Aftercare, they should be fully engaged in the treatment and recovery process. Therefore, Aftercare wilt consist primarily of group therapy that addresses problems and issues identified by the client, counselor, and court representatives. Completion of steps four and five of the 12 Step program will also occur in this group. This group will meet for one session per week and will last one and a half- hour (1 1/2). Clients will remain in Aftercare for a period of no less than 28 weeks. They may continue to attend for up to one year following graduation. The clients will be required to attend five AA/NA meetings per week. In order to complete Aftercare and graduate from the program, the client must have 150 days of abstinence, regular attendance at AA/NA meetings for 150 days, and full completion of treatment goals. The client must have completed steps four and five in order to graduate from the program. The client will receive a minimum of 28 hours of additional contact. The client will be encouraged to continue aftercare attendance after graduation. Individual counseling sessions will be available as requested or as required by the treatment program. Significant others will also be involved in the counseling sessions as indicated. SAIL recognizes that addiction is a family disease and that ali members of the family need to be encouraged to be actively involved in the recovery process.
