Aftercare at Rubedo

Continued Support For Growing Independence

For many neurodivergent young adults, the period immediately following residential treatment is when the gains made in a program are most vulnerable. Aftercare at Rubedo is designed to protect those gains while steadily building the independence that makes them last.

Rubedo Aftercare gives clients a bridge between structured residential treatment and fully independent living. Rather than a hard stop at graduation, support is tapered thoughtfully, at a pace that reflects each client's actual readiness.

Living Independently, With Rubedo Behind You

Aftercare clients live in their own apartments in the Portland area and come to the Rubedo house for services. The Rubedo house remains a familiar home base, and the team remains a familiar presence, while clients take on increasing ownership of their daily lives.

Aftercare is delivered by Rubedo's own clinical and coaching team, the same people clients worked with during the residential program. That continuity of relationship is intentional. When a client is navigating a hard week, a new job, or a difficult conversation, they are doing it with people who already know them deeply.

What Aftercare Includes

Clinical & Coaching Support

One individual therapy session per week, held at the Rubedo house. Clients keep their primary therapist for the first three months of aftercare, then transition to a contracted provider as independence grows. One coaching session per week, held at the client's apartment, the Rubedo house, or out in the community. Monthly psychiatry with Dr. DeCory.

Community & Connection

Two aftercare support groups per week, held at the house or in the community. One apartment visit per week from a Rubedo team member. A monthly family update to keep caregivers informed and connected. A monthly aftercare client dinner at the Rubedo house. Two community outings per month, including standing invitations to join Rubedo weekend outings.

Practical Support

An $85 weekly Hannaford gift card and a gym membership are included throughout the program.
