Continuing Care Program

Adults 18+ who have completed inpatient or outpatient treatment with an accredited provider · 6 months, one virtual session per week · Virtual

A six-month structured virtual aftercare program — one session per week from home — combining intensive relapse-prevention education and structured assignments with one-on-one and group counselling. Open to graduates of accredited providers, not only Renascent's own programs, it bridges the gap between intensive treatment and self-directed recovery.
