For many people, completing addiction treatment is just one of many steps on the life-long journey of recovery. Indeed, the decision to seek professional help and the completion of an addiction treatment program are major achievements and, in many cases, life-changing achievements. Getting reacclimated to the world after a focused, scheduled, and supervised treatment program poses unique challenges. That is where an alumni program can help.
If you have recently completed treatment for a substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health issues, then you understand those challenges. Your treatment focused on learning who you are, understanding the future you want, and working toward those new goals. It is challenging and a bit scary to return to the responsibilities of daily life. Some people also struggle to make sober friends or find fun, sober activities on their own.
An alumni program helps you build and maintain meaningful relationships with people who understand what you’ve been through. It keeps you connected with your sober support. At The Arbor Behavioral Healthcare, we offer comprehensive residential and outpatient treatment programs as well as an alumni treatment program. Call 844.413.2690 today to get started.
What Are the Benefits of an Alumni Program at The Arbor?
Our clients love our alumni program for many reasons, including the following:
- Being social can be difficult in early recovery. Being surrounded by other sober friends makes this task much more comfortable.
- An alumni program creates a natural sense of accountability and community. Engaging in the recovery world and connecting with other people helps you stay on track. If you recognize that you’re struggling, the community is there to help you.
- An alumni program can show just how possible it is to have fun while in recovery. Many people fear that their new, sober life will be boring without drugs or alcohol. But when you’re in active addiction, your life probably feels incredibly stressful. Our alumni program shows you some of the many ways you can find pleasure and joy in recovery.
At The Arbor, our compassionate team of experienced professionals will devise a customized treatment plan that encompasses your entire recovery journey.
