Addiction is a complex health issue that can begin early in life. Jake* is one of many young Australians who struggle with addiction each year. After successfully completing rehab, Jake knew the challenges were not over.
For young people in residential treatment for substance misuse, the idea of going back to the outside world can be daunting.
That’s why Aftercare is so important. It ensures young people like Jake don’t have to face recovery alone.
Evidence shows that Aftercare keeps young people safe. Following participation in Aftercare, data from Mission Australia shows that an average of 96% of young people are in safe and stable housing, with an 83% decrease in suicide attempts.
