After Care Options
The Bay offers a solid, practical framework to anchor you during your transition from retreat to home. We structure your After Care program in consultation with you and the clinical team so that it meets your unique needs. Where required, and appropriate, one of our team members can accompany you home to support your transition.
The After Care plans below are for use as a guide only.
