Key takeaway
A 30-60-90 aftercare checklist turns discharge into weekly actions: medicine fills, counseling dates, housing stability, and relapse drills. It complements the first-90-days narrative guide with checkbox clarity. Call or text (800) 653-9376 if your checklist shows missing clinical doors you need filled.

What belongs on day 1 to 30?
Medicine continuity, first outpatient appointments, naloxone if needed, and a written relapse plan.
What about days 31 to 60?
Review triggers, work or school return, and whether level of care should step up or down.
Days 61 to 90?
Stabilize routines, alumni or peer supports, and update the relapse plan for new stressors.
