Iris Healing® Programs
Comprehensive Rehab Aftercare for Long-Term Recovery
Iris Healing® Center is working to offer a range of addiction aftercare services to our clientele for the best transition between treatment and independent living. From a patient’s first day, case management needs are assessed and tracked to approach potential barriers in employment, education, life skills and development, occupational training, long-term housing, and financial management. Our goal at Iris Healing® is to be a leader in providing drug rehab aftercare in Woodland Hills.
What is Aftercare?
Recovering from addiction is a multi-step process, and the recovery journey does not stop after someone has left rehabilitation. Even after a person has rid their body of addictive substances, they need ongoing support to maintain sobriety and prevent relapsing.
This is why aftercare is a critical step in the recovery process. Aftercare refers to the type of care programs that a person can experience after they’ve achieved sobriety and gone through rehabilitation. Aftercare is structured to help people avoid relapse and work towards restoring their life goals and a healthy, productive lifestyle.
The Various Forms of Addiction Aftercare
Addiction aftercare services can appear in a variety of forms, and they are often based on an individual’s specific needs and goals. Aftercare plans may include moving to a sober living home, participating in a treatment clinic’s alumni program, attending counseling sessions, or attending recovery meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements and time commitment for aftercare services?
Aftercare services are flexible and customized based on your individual needs and goals after completing primary treatment. There’s no fixed schedule—services range from sober living arrangements and ongoing counseling sessions to educational programs and employment assistance. You can access resources like support group meetings (which vary in frequency), individual therapy sessions (scheduled as needed), and life skills classes at Pierce College. Our case management team works with you from day one to assess your needs and create a personalized aftercare plan. Contact us at (844) 663-4747 to discuss what aftercare support would work best for your lifestyle and recovery goals.
How does insurance coverage work for aftercare services?
Coverage for aftercare services varies significantly by insurance plan and the specific services you need. Some aftercare components like ongoing therapy and support groups may be covered, while other services like educational programs or sober living arrangements may require different funding sources. Our case management team will help you navigate insurance benefits and identify which aftercare services are covered under your plan. We also connect you with free and low-cost community resources. Contact our team at (844) 663-4747 or verify your insurance online to understand your specific coverage for continuing care after primary treatment.
Can I access aftercare services if I have work or school commitments?
Absolutely. Aftercare is designed to support your transition to independent living while you pursue employment, education, and other life goals. Our services include assistance with college enrollment, educational planning, paid occupational training programs, employment referrals, and job placement—all structured to help you build a productive lifestyle. Whether you need evening support groups, flexible counseling appointments, or career development resources that fit your schedule, we’ll work with you to create an aftercare plan that supports rather than disrupts your work and educational commitments.
What happens if I struggle or relapse after completing primary treatment?
Aftercare exists specifically to help you avoid relapse and maintain sobriety through ongoing support. If you’re struggling, immediately contact our team at (844) 663-4747. We can connect you with intensified support services, additional counseling, support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or SMART Recovery, or help you determine if returning to a higher level of care is appropriate. Our case management team tracks your needs throughout recovery and can adjust your aftercare plan as challenges arise. Remember, reaching out when you’re struggling is a sign of strength, not failure—it’s exactly what aftercare is designed for.
How does aftercare help with housing, employment, and life skills?
Our Aftercare Blueprint for Success (ABS) provides comprehensive support for rebuilding your life. We offer free assistance with identification documents, transportation, and government applications. For housing, we can help you find sober living arrangements if returning to your previous environment might trigger relapse. Employment services include resume building, mock interviews, career counseling, job placement assistance, and even interview clothing. Educational support includes enrollment assistance, transcript evaluation, free non-credit life skills classes from Pierce College, specialty certifications (Community Health Worker, Financial Management, Anger Management), and connections to vocational training and apprenticeship programs.
What support groups and ongoing counseling options are available through aftercare?
We help connect you with various support groups and ongoing counseling to ensure you feel supported and cared for throughout recovery. Support group options include Alcoholics Anonymous, SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, Codependent Anonymous, Al-Anon, and others based on your specific needs. For counseling, we provide recommendations and connections for both individual and group therapy sessions. Our partnerships with local agencies and community organizations ensure you have access to continuous mental health support. We can also connect you with our alumni program for peer support from others who have completed treatment at Iris Healing.
