Personalized Discharge & Aftercare Planning After Inpatient Treatment

Recovery doesn’t suddenly end after the residential phase of treatment. There’s a reason it’s often called a recovery journey. That’s why we emphasize personalized discharge and aftercare planning for our clients—to help ensure they have the support and resources they need to maintain sobriety and continue growing in their new lives.

Our commitment to personalized planning means we take the time to understand your unique needs, challenges, and goals. We then use this information to create a comprehensive aftercare plan tailored to you.

How Do We Plan for Aftercare?

Individualized Assessment

Before you leave Burning Tree Lodge, our care team will conduct a thorough assessment of your progress, unique needs, and future goals. This will help us identify the most appropriate aftercare options for your situation.

Continuing the Twelve Step Journey

Our aftercare planning is designed to ensure clients continue their journey through the 12 steps, maintaining their connection to the recovery community and continuing to address the three-fold nature of addiction—mind, body, and spirit—long after residential treatment ends.

Continuum of Care Options​

Aftercare programming is done in a supervised setting, using a wide range of care options that try to meet our clients where they are with an appropriate level of support.

Our continued programming options may include:

How Do We Ensure a Seamless Transition to the Next Phase of Recovery?

It’s essential to us that attending inpatient care at Burning Tree Lodge is the last time you’ll need intensive addiction treatment. We’ve found that recovery outcomes are better when we examine what life looks like after the residential phase of treatment. Part of our promise to clients is our commitment to ongoing support as they transition back to daily life.

Our aftercare planning focuses on three key areas:

“Our discharge planning is clinically crafted to meet the unique needs of the individual. We believe that a customized aftercare strategy is central to the goal of lasting, long-term recovery.”

What is Our Aftercare Planning Process?

Our Unique Approach

When you enter the Burning Tree Lodge program, our care team begins strategizing your aftercare. As we get to know you better, we refine and adjust the plan to fit your evolving needs.

We believe in a collaborative approach that directly involves our clients, their families, and our clinical team. Each of these parties plays a role in developing an effective, realistic aftercare plan.

We aim to make your transition from our facility to the subsequent recovery phase as smooth as possible. We’ll walk you through each step of the process and make sure you feel prepared and supported.

Joining The Recovery Community: Our Alumni Support Services

Alumni support is available to all clients who complete residential programming at Burning Tree Lodge. We will connect with clients before discharge and follow up with them within a week of treatment.

You should know that we hold a weekly alumni meeting on Wednesday nights, and all alumni are welcome. We strongly encourage alumni to join our Facebook page and stay in touch for ongoing fellowship. We’re continually updating our alumni network on upcoming events and potential service opportunities.

Annual Alumni Reunion

Once a year, Burning Tree Lodge holds an alumni reunion, and all past clients and alumni are invited to join us in celebration. The reunion is an opportunity to return to the Lodge and participate in programming specific to the alumni celebration, including fellowship, meetings, speakers, and great food.

We hope to hear from you! Please contact us if you have any questions about our alumni services.

“I recently completed a thirty day treatment program thru Burning Tree, and my experience was nothing short of a miracle. The Counselors and staff were wonderful with their approach to the treatment of myself and the other clients. I can’t sing enough praises for the remarkable change that has taken place in my life.
