Support Groups
Support groups bring together individuals from all walks of life who are suffering or have suffered from substance or behavioral addiction. Groups are available for recovering alcoholics and substance abusers, as well as for those who have become addicted to gambling, debt, Internet games or related sites, and other compulsive behaviors. These groups can be very beneficial to those who have recovered from acute addiction or dependency, as they will be seen as leaders and role models by those who are still suffering. This leadership role will in turn motivate the recovered addict to stay on the right track and be in contact with people who share the same problem.
Individual counseling helps a recovered addict deal with underlying issues that may lead to addiction. Personal or social insecurity, family issues, relationship issues, past trauma, and other psychological factors that lead to addiction are often best dealt with through private sessions with a highly trained psychiatrist, psychologist, or social worker with experience in treating addiction disorders. Counseling can begin with an intensive, regular schedule right after a patient gets out a rehabilitation center or completes an outpatient therapy. It can then be tapered down to less frequent sessions once the patient and the therapist agree that any pressing issues have been properly addressed.
Group Therapy
Group therapy brings together people of similar backgrounds who have dealt with similar addiction problems. Unlike support groups, which are run and led by peers, group therapy sessions are led by trained counselors. This type of continuing care can replace individual counseling once the need for intense counseling has passed and can augment the effectiveness of support groups.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is specifically designed for treatment of addictions that may have resulted due to issues within a family. It is led by a trained counselor, and its aim is to discuss relationship issues within the family that could have led to addiction. It also serves to help the addict by allowing his or her family members to discuss the impact addiction had on their relationship with him or her.
Other Aftercare Options
Other forms of continuing care for people who have recovered from an acute phase of an addiction problem include spiritual or religious counseling. Guidance can also help people find new interests, such as sports or hobbies, which provide a constructive alternative to dealing with emotional or psychological stimuli that could otherwise lead to resumption of addictive behavior.
