Continued Care is a program that follows the treatment
programs. It is Phase Two of treatment
and/or After Care.
City/County Alcohol and Drug programs introduced the
Continued Care program to the jail treatment program in 1991. As of 2005 we served as many
as 424 clients for the year for initial and exit interviews and had as many as 979 clients attending
groups. Currently, through June, we have served 276 individuals and 531 in group.
Continued Care focuses on relapse prevention and helps
the client take the tools they gained in their treatment program and apply those same tools to
their everyday lives.
