Aftercare - For Who? You?
The term “aftercare” depicts a continuum of treatment for the addict/alcoholic who has completed a structured
intervention/treatment program. Typically, an aftercare plan is formulated in conference with the patient/client.
What if there was a program that taught that the identity of an addict/alcoholic was disposable? Irrelevant to the client? That the client should not define their identity by their most regrettable behavior?
What if a client was prepared by their treatment program to care for themselves when they transitioned because they were capable of doing so?
What if a person advanced from “Keep It Simple , Stupid!” (K.I.S.S.) to “Keep Increasing Self-Sufficiency!” (K.I.S.S.)?
Then they would be free to provide care for their loved ones ever after.
Now, that’s aftercare!
