A very common thing that is observed with the alcohol detox program in Alabama is that most people fall back into the addiction as soon as they are back home. This, of course, makes the whole treatment program futile and meaningless. However, in present times, the alcohol treatment program in Alabama contains a very elaborate aftercare treatment program after the detox. It is not compulsory for Alabamans to enter into the aftercare treatment program when their detox is completed, whatever the rate of success the detox program may have had. The aftercare treatment program may be within the detox facility itself, or they may have to refer the patients outside for treatment.

These aftercare programs focus greatly on the prevention of relapse, because that is the most vital thing to achieve after the treatment. Towards this end, the aftercare programs of any alcohol rehab center in Alabama will try to achieve the following things:-
1. They will make the patient aware that the detox program was not in the least the end of their treatment. They are told how a relapse has every chance of occurring if they are not careful and how it can be prevented from happening. Some previous case stories are discussed to drive the point home.
2. The people are taught how they should keep away from risk factors such as the same groups of people, the same places, the same kinds of situations, etc. that had brought in the addiction in the first place.
3. Their families are taught how they can cope with this issue and prevent the relapse from happening. They are also told what they must do in case a relapse does happen.
