But what happens after rehab? First, it is important to remember that when you complete treatment and return to your daily routine, you might be faced with potential triggers that will tempt you to relapse. Such triggers might include old friends, your job, family, and even hobbies that you once enjoyed. Therefore, it is important to identify and understand your triggers so that you can combat them when they arise.

In addition to pinpointing and neutralizing potential triggers, you should look into continuing care so that you can maintain your sobriety with the help of a solid support system. This care plan can even be put in place before you leave rehab so that you are prepared to take the next step on your sobriety journey. One option for aftercare is individual therapy, often cognitive behavioral therapy, which gives you the chance to work through the stress, trauma, or other underlying factors that led you to drug abuse in the first place. You may also want to look into 12-step meetings and alternative support groups in your area since these safe spaces give you the support you need to move past your addiction.

It is also important to prepare for the lifestyle changes you will make after rehab. Remember that you now have many more opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with others. Consider taking up a new hobby, volunteering, attending community events, or even just going for a walk in the park.
