CAST Recovery offers a multitude of services to assist individuals in recovery through focusing on the recovery of the "whole person." Two of their most highly recommended recovery plans are The Aftercare Support Plan and The Sober Companion Plan. The Aftercare Support Plan is tailored to those individuals who may need some additional support or encouragement but are capable of managing their everyday affairs. Staff work with individuals using this plan to establish a specific recovery plan of action, set up an AA or NA meeting attendance schedule, and assist with medication management. The Sober Companion Plan is designed for individuals who require a little more assistance in their recovery. This plan includes a sober companion who accompanies the client home from treatment, sets up a recovery conducive environment, creates a relapse prevention plan, and generally assists in the reintegration into society.

CAST Recovery also offers intervention services as well as family and friends counseling and education.
