Aftercare

Aftercare is a critical component of any treatment program.

The role our aftercare services play is crucial. Establishing a new, healthier lifestyle takes time. Implementing new skills and incorporating new strategies in our residential treatment setting is one thing; maintaining those disciplines back in real-world dynamics is an entirely different arena—one in which additional support is vitally important.

What does Aftercare do?

Aftercare

It provides essential continuing care to reinforce progress you’ve made in treatment.

Aftercare

It helps facilitate next steps in your recovery.

Aftercare

It builds a comprehensive real-world support system for you.

Aftercare at Honey Lake Clinic: As unique as … YOU!

Patients who’ve suffered with an addiction or a mental health condition often struggle in many other aspects of their lives. Some have alienated family and friends, lost jobs or their place of residence, or have legal issues. Because each individual’s circumstances are unique, Aftercare planning at Honey Lake Clinic begins when you enter treatment, and continues throughout your treatment to ensure your recovery continues as you return to life’s routines.

You will meet someone in our Aftercare Program during your first week at Honey Lake Clinic. During this first meeting, we will work with you, gathering information on the kind of support you’ll need when you return home.

Honey Lake Clinic

“Thinking about going home can be intimidating, but my job is to help make the transition as seamless as possible. Honey Lake Clinic, as a whole, works to ensure you to have all the necessary components in place, whether that’s a therapist, psychiatrist, church or support group, to continue your progress after discharge.”

– Ashleigh Singletary, Aftercare Director

You will meet weekly with your Aftercare Counselor during your treatment program. Because everyone’s needs are different, these weekly check-ins help ensure things are progressing and on schedule for when you are discharged. Some people have providers already, with whom appointments need to be scheduled. For those who need providers, our Aftercare Department looks into our extensive network of therapists and providers around the world to offer suggestions to you, and then to set up introductions.

Why the concern for
Aftercare, during your care?

Why the concern for Aftercare, during your care?

If you wait until after your care to think about your aftercare, you’re too late. Finding the right doctor, the right therapist, the right support group, getting all the I’s dotted and T’s crossed, insurance benefits verified and coverages applied, referrals in place, appointments calendared—these things don’t happen instantaneously. They happen when the legwork has been done. We’re here to help you through the entire process, to health and wholeness.

Aftercare that goes beyond introductions & appointments.

While you normally think of aftercare planning as having things in place before you leave—doctors, therapists, support groups and so on—our Aftercare Department is also there to help you with any other post-residential-treatment concerns you have.

In some cases, our Aftercare counselors have been called upon to assist patients in communicating with their employers, navigating complex insurance questions or obstacles, locating churches, discovering devotionals, Bible studies and small groups, and more.

Having an advocate as the treatment phase of your recovery
winds down is an invaluable tool in transitioning from
treatment into the new chapter of life that awaits you.

Honey Lake Clinic’s Alumni
Community: The Net

Honey Lake Clinic’s Alumni Community: The Net

A growing family of HLC Alumni, the Net provides ongoing support after your on-campus experience, encouraging each another in establishing and strengthening our connections upward, inward, and outward.

Tuesday and Thursday Night ZOOM Meetings
(Tuesdays 7pm EST and Thursdays 9pm EST)

“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”– Philippians 1:6

The continuum of care is emphasized from your initial conversations with Honey Lake Clinic. While you are a patient at Honey Lake, the conversation continues with staff on campus, encouraging you to take advantage of continued support and resources when you get home.

Our alumni program is emphasized during the weekend encounters every 3 weeks. There is an alumni form each of our patients fill out with options to participate in various aspects of our alumni programming. Before you leave the on-campus experience, you will have the opportunity to get on a Zoom meeting and experience what we call the NET. Within 3-5 days of your discharge, you will hear from our Alumni Director, Pastor John Panico offering support, encouragement, information, and more.

What our alumni are saying about the Net

This group has stabilized me and has helped me grow in the grace of God and with each other. The biggest thing is when I am in those meetings in the presence of God and you all, I know that I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Even if I am tempted to give into thoughts that tell me otherwise, for those hours spent with you I am loved and am the beloved.

- D.O. 2019

The alumni meetings are a life saver. These alumni meetings allow your tie to Honey Lake to continue, while still being back in the “real world”. Not only that, but the Honey Lake experience is one no attendee ever will or wants to forget. So being able to connect with like-minded individuals who have experienced Honey Lake, just makes you feel sane. I am so grateful for this alumni group, as it allows me to continue growing my faith & relationship with Lord, as well as connect with more Honey Lake people & either help or be helped by them. It is a special community I hold near & dear to my heart.

- C.D. 2019

I want you to know that there is no better aftercare, in my opinion, than the Tuesday and Thursday night zoom meetings. Without them, I would definitely not be in the place that I am today! I left Honey Lake in January of this year and for 2 to 3 weeks I struggled incredibly hard with my transition. In the months since, God has transformed my life. I know that God has huge plans for me. I believe that he is calling me into the ministry in some way related to my time at Honey Lake, serving fellow graduates.
