Horizons Aftercare Program™ – Alumni & Continuing Care
Breakthrough Recovery Centre provides ongoing aftercare in Canada through the Horizon™ Aftercare Program, offering continued support for graduates navigating life after residential treatment.
Recovery continues long after residential treatment ends. At Breakthrough, this next stage is supported through a weekly psychoeducational group, not left unaddressed once formal programming concludes. This includes ongoing education, accountability, and peer connection, delivered in a structured virtual format that respects each graduate’s independence while keeping meaningful support close at hand.
What Is Horizon™ Aftercare?
Horizon™ Aftercare is a weekly psychoeducational group facilitated by an Addiction and Mental Health Counsellor, designed to help graduates strengthen their recovery and confidently navigate life beyond treatment.

When Aftercare Support Is Needed
Continued aftercare may be appropriate when graduates are:
- Reinforcing relapse prevention skills learned in treatment
- Managing triggers, cravings, or emotional dysregulation
- Rebuilding routines, relationships, or community connections
- Navigating challenges during community reintegration
- Seeking ongoing accountability, education, and peer support
Many individuals find that consistent, structured engagement after treatment helps sustain progress and reduce the risk of relapse.
