People often make the mistake of thinking that the addiction recovery process ends when the client completes the rehabilitation treatment program either from an in-patient or out-patient treatment Centre. Fact is addiction recovery is a difficult lifelong process and continued support, contact, and monitoring of the client during this stage is very crucial. (‘substance abuse Aftercare manual’ , 2015) therefore the purpose of this qualitative research method study is to establish how clients create meaning of a specific situation by analyzing their point of view, attitudes, understanding, knowledge, values, feelings, and experiences in an attempt to guide their point of view regarding the situation (Creswell et al., 2007)
The most high risk period of relapse is between 30-90 days where 40-60% of clients will relapse after discharge from rehabilitation treatment program because it is at this particular period that the client often finds it difficult to adapt easily back into society and if an aftercare program ( relapse prevention plan) is not put into place the client might relapse.
