What Is an Aftercare Program?
Aftercare is a structured, ongoing support system that begins once formal treatment ends. It provides continued therapy, accountability, and community engagement to maintain sobriety. Our Anaheim aftercare program ensures you remain connected and supported after completing intensive treatment.

How Our Anaheim Aftercare Works
Aftercare planning starts early in treatment. Before discharge, we develop a personalized plan that includes:
- Continued Therapy: Schedule weekly or biweekly individual and group sessions.
- Medical Follow-Up: Monitor medications and mental health with regular check-ups.
- Support Group Engagement: Connect with local AA, NA, or SMART Recovery meetings.
- Relapse Prevention Planning: Identify triggers and develop actionable coping strategies.
- Sober Living Options: Recommend supportive housing if your home environment is unstable.
Example:
- Initial Meeting: Finalize your relapse prevention plan with your therapist.
- Weekly Sessions: Continue with group meetings and individual check-ins.
- Community Integration: Attend local recovery meetings in Anaheim, with opportunities in Orange County and Fullerton to reinforce support.

Client Testimonials
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to start off by explaining that I work in recovery and been an around recovery for the last eight years of my life. I have been in and out of inpatient treatment centers three separate times. Even got sober using A.A. one of the other times. It’s become my life's passion to care for people struggling with this disease. I honestly thought I had it licked. That should have been the initial sign. I didn’t. I fell off this last November In a downward spiral that lasted seven days and two near — death emergency visits later. The first place that came to mind was Lift Off Recovery. A gentleman named Pastor Phil AKA Chief who works with their program last messaged me “I love you brother.” something I desperately needed in my time of near-death experience. Nevertheless, to say I was on an airplane the following day on my way to detox at Lift Off Recovery. From the moment I showed up, they greeted me like a family member with love, compassion, empathy, and support and top-notch doctors, therapists, and medications prescribed to glide me down from the insanity the drug use caused me. While detoxing my prayers were answered, they fed me three large home-cooked meals daily along with any of my other wants/needs ice cream and candy 😂. The house I was staying in was a beautiful, serene environment. Exactly what I called for to reengage with my spiritually. The team each one of them had their own unique top-notch qualities that were thoroughly vetted by a seasoned management leadership team and owner. After my detox, they gave me more privileges to do more programming and dig deeper into my lack of knowledge of my character defects through group participation at the outpatient facility. Things I didn’t truly examine the last time I got sober while in A.A. Did I forget to mention the countless trips to the ocean that helped me cleanse my soul? I could go on for days about how great this program is, and the team involved in my recovery. If you’re in desperate need like I was, I put my life on it, you will not find a better program than Lift Off Recovery and if you’re in doubt, please feel free to try another company like I did. But I promise you, coming from someone who truly cares for you and your shared struggles with this disease, this is the finest program on the map. That’s coming from someone who made their life purpose about this struggle. Thank you, Life Off Recovery, for giving me another chance at a better way of life and lifting me off to be the finest person I can be for my family and the people I come across moving forward in my career in recovery. Much love and respect, Rex! Mark RexfordMarch 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Liftoff Recovery flew me out to Cali in November of 2023 to go through treatment. I had no idea at the time how much this place, the people, and the whole community would actually change my life. I've never felt so loved and accepted for who I am until I met these people. Not only will you learn so much about yourself and how to live a life without drugs or alcohol... But they'll be with you every step of the way. I used to feel so lost, unloved, and just plain broken. They showed me love even when I didn't love myself!! Just like I honestly didn't know how to even live a life being a sober adult. But they taught me. I have been set free from the chains that used to hold me down. I'm forever grateful to each and every person I've met through Liftoff, Magic House and Set Free!! If you're taking the time to read this... Then give them a chance! It'll be life changing!! Heather MangrumMarch 18, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is truly amazing. I have had such a beautiful learning experience. I wanna give a special thanks to every single staff member. Everyone of you have touched my heart and help me grow. Special thank you to Chief, Sunday, for leading the way and helping me through some of the hardest obstacles I have overcome. Some I’m still working on and will continue. These people have impacted my life in so many way. I will forever be grateful. You saved me lift off ❤️ Laura NordbyJuly 2, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Chris WillisDecember 12, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lift Off Recovery has helped me to gain a sense of direction and has given me the tools to recover from a hopeless state of mind and body. The therapist and counselor helped me to uncover things about myself that I have been denying and drinking over for years. I walked out of there with a positive outlook on life and purpose after 30 years of addiction. I left the program with 5 months of sobriety and recovery. The biggest thank you to the staff management, therapist, counselor, and the entire Lift Off team for giving me my life back, I now have future full of happiness. I am eternally grateful. #GTA… And a special thanks to Chief. Charles HouseNovember 2, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
