At South Coast Recovery Centre, we understand that completing a rehab programme is just the beginning and life after rehab is where the real test begins, where the strength of the recovery foundation is most needed. That’s why we prepare every resident to leave us with a clear, personalised, and practical relapse prevention plan tailored to their needs, lifestyle, and personal triggers.
This plan isn’t just about avoiding relapse — it’s about building a life that no longer makes room for addiction. From daily structure to healthy coping tools, goal setting to support systems, we help each person design a sustainable recovery path they can take with confidence.
Recovery Is a Lifelong Journey — You’re Never Alone
Leaving the safety of treatment can be daunting. Many people fear what will happen when the structure disappears, when old environments return, or when family members don’t know how to help. That’s why we’ve created systems of continued connection and support that extend long beyond a client’s departure.
Residents become part of the SCRC family — and that bond doesn’t end at the gate. Our online Family Support Group continues to meet weekly and is open to all family members even after treatment is complete. It provides education, emotional support, and a platform to connect with others on the same journey. This ongoing involvement reduces confusion, resentment, and helps create a shared language around recovery at home.
Optional Sober Coaching: For Ongoing Accountability
Relapse can happen subtly — not always as a sudden event, but as a slow drift back into risky behaviours. For those who want the highest level of accountability after rehab, we offer professional sober coaching as an optional service which includes weekly sessions to unpack struggles.
Sober coaching provides regular check-ins, support, and real-time guidance from a trained recovery professional. It’s not only effective, but also takes the pressure off family members who may otherwise feel responsible for monitoring their loved one. This can reduce tension, prevent power struggles, and allow healthier roles within the home environment.
Whether someone is newly clean or navigating a difficult season post-treatment, having a sober coach means never facing recovery alone.
Speedy Response for Short-Term Relapse
Relapse is not failure — it’s a signal that something needs more attention. When addressed quickly, a brief lapse does not have to become a full-blown setback. That’s why we offer a refresher programme for clients who may have experienced a short-term relapse and need to realign with their recovery path.
The refresher process includes:
- A short, intensive stay
- Therapeutic re-evaluation
- Reconnection with 12-step work
- Revisiting core emotional drivers of the relapse
- Reinforcement of the relapse prevention plan
By stepping in early, we help clients correct course, rebuild momentum, and avoid a complete return to substance use.
We Are Family — Always
Life after rehab is full of challenges — but it can also be filled with hope, healing, and lasting purpose when supported by a community that truly cares. At SCRC, we don’t say goodbye — we say see you soon. Every individual who comes through our doors becomes part of something bigger than themselves. The bonds formed here are real, and the door always remains open.
We offer continued guidance, check-ins, and support — not just for months, but for as long as it’s needed. Whether someone wants to share a milestone, attend a support group, or return for a refresher, they’ll find a warm, familiar place ready to walk with them again.
