Personalized Discharge & Aftercare Planning After Inpatient Treatment
Recovery doesn’t suddenly end after the residential phase of treatment. There’s a reason it’s often called a recovery journey. That’s why we put so much emphasis on personalized discharge and aftercare planning for our clients – to help ensure our clients have the support and resources they need to maintain sobriety and continue growing in their new life.
Our commitment to personalized planning means we take the time to understand your unique needs, challenges, and goals. We then use this information to create a comprehensive aftercare plan that’s tailored specifically to you.
How We Plan for Aftercare
Individualized Assessment
Before you leave Renewal Lodge, our care team will conduct a thorough assessment of your progress, your unique needs, and future goals. This helps us identify the most appropriate aftercare options for your situation.
Continuum of Care Options
Aftercare programming is done in a supervised setting through a wide range of care options that try to meet our clients right where they’re at with an appropriate level of support.
Our continued programming options may include:
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP): A structured program that provides intensive treatment while allowing you to live at home.
- Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP): A step down from PHP, offering regular therapy and support on a more flexible schedule.
- Outpatient Programming (OP): Less intensive than IOP, providing ongoing support as you transition back to daily life.
- Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with a therapist to address personal challenges and maintain recovery.
- Medication Management: Ongoing care for those who need medication support for mental health conditions.
- Structured Transitional Living: Sober living environments that provide a supportive, substance-free place to live as you build your new life in recovery.
Ensuring a Seamless Transition to the Next Phase of Recovery
It’s really important to us that attending inpatient care at Renewal Lodge is the last time you’ll need intensive treatment for addiction. We’ve found that recovery outcomes are better when we take a close look at what life looks like after the residential phase of treatment. Part of our promise to clients is our commitment to ongoing support as you transition back to daily life.
Our aftercare planning focuses on three key areas:
- Relapse Prevention: We equip you with strategies and tools to identify and manage triggers, cravings, and high-risk situations.
- Ongoing Support: We connect you with resources and support networks to ensure you're never alone in your recovery journey.
- Continued Growth: We help you set goals and find opportunities for personal development, encouraging you to thrive in your new life.
“Our discharge planning is clinically crafted to meet the unique needs of the individual. We believe that a customized aftercare strategy is central to the goal of lasting, long-term recovery.”

The Aftercare Planning Process
Truth be told, our care team begins thinking about your aftercare from the moment you enter the Renewal Lodge program. As we get to know you better, we refine and adjust the plan to fit your evolving needs.
We believe in a collaborative approach that involves our clients directly, their families, and our clinical team – each of these parties play a role in developing an effective, realistic aftercare plan.
Our goal is to make your transition from our facility to the next phase of your recovery as smooth as possible. We’ll walk you through each step of the process and make sure you feel prepared and supported.
Joining The Recovery Community: Our Alumni Support Services
Alumni support is available to all clients who complete residential programming at Renewal Lodge. Our Alumni Director will connect with clients prior to discharge and follow up with them within a week following treatment.
You should know that we hold a weekly alumni meeting on Wednesday nights where all alumni are welcome. We strongly encourage alumni to join our Facebook page and to stay in touch for ongoing fellowship. We’re continually updating our alumni network on upcoming events and potential service opportunities available.
Annual Alumni Reunion
Once a year, an alumni reunion is held at Renewal Lodge and all past clients and alumni are invited to join us in celebration. The reunion is an opportunity to return to the Lodge and participate in programming specific to the alumni celebration, including fellowship, meetings, speakers, and great food.
We hope to hear from you! Please reach out to us if you have any questions about our alumni services.
