Sober Aftercare
Due to a great deal of clients requesting something more substantial from us in an on-going service, we devised our own Sober Aftercare, since we saw clearly the importance of such a supportive structural opportunity for our client’s sobriety.
Based upon the American model known as “continuum of care”, this form of specialized on-going support for the recovering individual is widely acknowledged as the missing link in today’s recovery industry.

Sober Services launched Sober Aftercare as an extension to residential treatment, with its intention to provide our clients with a much deeper level of support and follow on care than regular aftercare recommendations.
Some of the Sober Aftercare features include random or regular drug testing, attendance at 12 step meetings, meetings with a therapist, counsellor or psychiatrist, and attendance at pre-arranged Rehabilitation aftercare or outpatient services. The minimum period of Sober Aftercare is 6 months, although 12 months is recommended and in many cases 18 or 24 months are employed.
Sober Aftercare, not only benefits the participating individual, but it also offers support and assurance to their family, loved ones support network and work environment where applicable. The programme gives responsibility back to the clients while holding them accountable for their own recovery progress. This alleviates family members and those that care from the burden of monitoring them by themselves, and allowing us to deal with any issues that may arise, effectively and immediately. We take care of the worrying, while impressing upon the client the importance of them taking responsibility for themselves.
Whilst an individual is enrolled in our programme, Sober Aftercare provides the participant’s family, treatment providers, and support network, including employers where appropriate, with a disclosure of the client’s recovery progress. This includes reports for all random drug screenings, updates on documentation for 12-step meeting attendance, and any relevant corresponding progress from their therapist, psychiatrist, or aftercare provider.
The key to Sober Aftercare is contact, monitoring and holding accountable the client. This combined with our Case Management Programme (available upon request), which provides a more intensive level of care, post residential treatment, provides qualified staff to support not only the client but the family as well.

Testimonials
During the emotional rollercoaster week after that first phone call, knowing Sober Services were on hand, on our side and committed to working with us was like being wrapped in a security blanket. Suddenly, there was someone, a professional, available 24/7 to answer all our questions and provide both emotional and practical support.
If you have a loved one who is an alcoholic (drinking, recovering or any stage in between) and you need help, phone Sober Services. It will be the single best thing you have ever done for yourself and your loved alcoholic.
You found us all in a very dark place. My family was torn apart and ruined. We struggled to see a light at the end of the tunnel, and all felt truly lost. After battling with my brothers addiction for nearly 10 years, after trying every avenue and failing time and time again, we had hit rock bottom, desperate to help him but finally accepting defeat.
But now after your successful Sober Intervention and residential rehab recommendation we are approaching my brothers one year anniversary. This was something I not only thought was impossible, but has now created the foundation of my new relationship with him.
Thank you for everything you have done for all of us.
We are a completely different family now, a happy one.
Thank you for giving me my brother back.
Our experience in working with them is first class, and so is their service concept and attitude.
We believe Sober Services are an intrinsic part of our success. Their ability to respond almost instantly is something we have not experienced before, and becomes a valuable resource when dealing with clients’ during a time of personal crisis.
We are proud to offer Sober Services as part of our structure.
