Recovery is a lifelong journey. We work with you to develop a continuing care plan that best suits your unique needs and helps you live a life free from addiction — for good.
Recovery made real
Every day, you choose to recover from a substance use disorder. While our treatment programs support you in getting sober, address the root cause of addiction, and treat any co-occurring conditions, you also have to continue that work after leaving Ashley. We work with you, your family, our medical and clinical teams, and outside providers to create a unique, effective continuing care plan. Your customized plan will integrate the right balance of medical, psychological, spiritual, holistic, or 12-Step practices because we want to support you on your entire journey — not just the beginning.

What happens after treatment?
During treatment, you will meet on a regular basis with a case manager to assess your recovery efforts and begin arranging your next step after completing treatment. For many patients, an aftercare treatment plan may include a combination of extended care, sober living/recovery housing arrangement, intensive outpatient or outpatient programs, individual therapy, psychiatry, or recovery coaching. Regardless of your needs, we will work on an individualized plan to ensure you’re completing treatment on a path for continued recovery success.
Recovery education
Having an understanding of where you stand in the recovery process is critical to being able to adjust to living a safe, healthy life. During and after treatment, you will have access to support groups and helpful resources to help you address daily challenges and answer questions you may have about maintaining a healthy life in recovery.
Support from people who’ve been where you are
Many of our non-clinical staff are also Maryland Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS). This certification is for individuals who are familiar with the recovery process for behavioral health disorders and are trained to use their lived experience to serve as part of your continuing care team. Each CPRS has also completed CCAR Recovery Coach Academy Training to better equip them to prepare you for your recovery journey after leaving Ashley.
