What happens after I complete treatment?

March 24, 2026

Before discharge, your therapist works with you to develop a comprehensive aftercare plan that includes step-down recommendations (such as IOP or sober living), ongoing therapy referrals, 12-step meeting schedules, relapse prevention strategies, and connection to our alumni program. We do not just treat you and send you on your way — we help you build a sustainable recovery plan and stay connected to support long after you leave our facility.

I wanted to thank John Tempelton' my Therapist Scott Collins. All the other therapist and staff. They are all great and really have helped me through the time I have been at Footprints. If you need help do not waste time and get it. Footprints is a very structured but accommodating and everyone seems very invested in your recovery and well being. I and the therapist worked on myself and some childhood as well as understanding that it is ok to ask for help and that you do not have to do everything in life yourself. I want to say thank you again. I highly reccomend Footprints and everyone that works there.

Going to footprints recovery may of been the greatest life changing thing to ever happen to me. A place to focus on myself, my recovery, and my mental health. The owner John and staff went above and beyond for me on multiple occasions and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them. I’m eternally grateful for footprints for helping guide me along the right path that I still walk today. If your looking for a rehab that works then look no further.

I did not want to do recovery after ten years of sobriety. I chose to drink in isolation for a year in a loneliness I never knew existed. And finally I was given an ultimatum by my family, to go to rehab or get out!
Today I have much gratitude for Footprints, they have saved my life. I have been given a gift of recovery that no other rehab has given to me.
From it's caring and competant staff members, to their compassionate and understanding techs, and not to mention their beautiful beach house. I have had one of the best experiences to date where my recovery is concerned. Thank You Footprints I am forever grateful -

I have been through about 9 treatment centers. The cravings are always there, I am afraid and resistant to getting help. I usually leave or give up after week two or three. I've noticed a significant change here at Footprints Beachside Recovery for me. I don't want to leave, my cravings have almost gone down completely and I look forward to learning something new everyday. I am an escape artist. I run when things get tough. The way the beach is utilized here is perfect for me to find serenity, peace and calmness within myself. Meetings are enforced everyday and recreational activities. We are also able to go to the gym as I am a world class martial artist. I was about to give up on myself before I found this program. Thank God I came here.

Tools for Sobriety are taught and expected to be used. This Program taught me accountability and self reliance in my Sobriety. Those that seek sobriety with Selflessness here will achieve a Level of Success that they may have never dreamed of. At least I have! As a former Garbage Head I knew the Staff from Ms.T all the way through to Halle and Phil to Scott and Randi but also Jon and his Family. They have their own stories and experiences having successful for and in sobriety. But most importantly on how to pick yourself up from falling away. Thank You Everyone for Delivering the tools I forgot I had and giving me the nudge to Self Confidence in Self Reliance. Learned how to care to pick them up

Truly Grateful for experiencing this program and the Love and Considerations shown for everyone's Sobriety here. It only works if you work it!

Only by God's grace did I find Footprints.
This journey for me was only going to happen if i truly wanted it. The way of life there is very different from other treatment centers. The freedom I had to live a somewhat normal life while also giving me the structure that I needed. Not to mention it's in a beautiful place where I could walk to the beach every day. The people there are what really make it a special place. All the way from the owner, to the therapist, to the former clients that helped me with every day life.
To go from not knowing where to even start, to be where I am today is a huge testament to Footprints and its people. They gave me the knowledge, tools and love that I needed to begin this new life.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care I received at Footprints Beachside Recovery. This place truly saved my life. From the moment I walked through their doors, I was met with a level of attentiveness, compassion, and understanding that I had never experienced before.

The staff at Footprints were not only highly professional but also genuinely caring. They took the time to understand my unique situation and tailored a treatment plan that was best for me, not just what was convenient or financially beneficial for them. Their dedication to my recovery was evident in every interaction, and I always felt that my well-being was their top priority.

Throughout my stay, I was consistently supported by a team that had my best interests at heart. They were patient, empathetic, and always available to offer guidance and encouragement. The evidence-based approach they took towards my treatment addressed not just my addiction, but also the underlying issues that contributed to it.

Thanks to Footprints, I am now on a path to a healthier, happier life. I wholeheartedly recommend this facility to anyone struggling with addiction. They have the expertise, compassion, and commitment to make a real difference.
