After Care Program

Magnolia Creek Residential Treatment Center believes that providing support and continuity between treatment and home is essential to a successful recovery. We work to ensure each resident's After Care Program is individualized to meet their specific needs.

After Care Planning During Treatment

At Magnolia Creek, our residents begin focusing on their After Care Program early in the treatment process to ensure that they have the support that they will require upon discharge. Each resident participates in a weekly After Care Group to plan for those needs and to inform the After Care Coordinator of any gaps in her treatment plan. We then assist residents in contacting the appropriate resources.

We maintain a current resource list with outpatient dietitians, therapists, psychiatrists, medical doctors and physical trainers so that each resident can be provided with referrals where necessary.

After Care Support After Treatment

Our After Care staff follows up with each resident at regular intervals after her discharge to check-in, receive feedback, and, when necessary, provide encouragement and guidance on maintaining her After Care Program.

During the first year following treatment, we provide a weekly ongoing therapy group for alumni living in the Birmingham area. Led by Chebon Porter, PhD with occasional input and participation from other staff members, the group provides a forum for sharing post-treatment experiences and encouraging participants to take charge of their recovery.

There is also a yearly alumni reunion for former residents who wish to reconnect.
