Alumni Community of Elevare Behavioral Health
Support doesn’t stop when treatment ends, and at Elevare Behavioral Health, we understand the need for ongoing accountability and friendship in long-term recovery. As part of your journey with us, we’re proud to offer an alumni program—a comprehensive range of aftercare services and resources to help our graduates stay committed to lasting recovery. By participating in our alumni community, you can stay connected to your peers and plan for recovery after leaving treatment.
What Is an Alumni Program?
After completing treatment for addiction, mental health, or dual diagnosis, our clients need ongoing support, education, and resources to help them maintain their sobriety and overall well-being. The goal of an alumni program is to create a safe and supportive community for individuals in recovery. Being part of an alumni program allows individuals to stay connected with others who have gone through similar experiences, providing a sense of community and understanding.
Why Are Alumni Programs Important In Recovery?
Many people struggle to acclimate to the real world after completing treatment. Your life has been so focused on learning who you are, understanding the future you want, and working toward it that jumping back into the responsibilities of daily life can be challenging. 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. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to try exciting new things—without paying a dime.
Having access to a weekly support group can be tremendously beneficial. If you’re struggling in recovery, this group offers a safe place to express yourself.
How Do You Benefit from Being Connected with An Alumni Program?
Our clients love our alumni program for many reasons. First, socializing can be difficult in early recovery. Being surrounded by other sober friends (who also want to make friends!) makes this task much more comfortable.
An alumni program creates a natural sense of accountability and community. These assets are so essential in recovery. Engaging in the 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.
Finally, an alumni program highlights just how possible it is to have fun while in recovery. Many people fear that life will be boring without drugs or alcohol. But when you’re active in your addiction, your life (even if it isn’t necessarily boring) probably feels incredibly stressful. Our alumni program shows you some of the many ways you can find pleasure and joy in recovery.
At Elevare Behavioral Health, we invite all our alumni to our alumni program and support meetings. We’re excited to show you how meaningful your life can be! If you have any questions about our program, please contact us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
What To Expect In Our Alumni Program
Our alumni community provides a place for all alumni to build and maintain relationships within recovery. We offer activities and events that promote support, community, and service. It is possible to have fun in recovery; our program always strives for that!
While having fun is essential, recovery stays at the forefront of our program. At each event, our alumni coordinator checks in with every individual. They will see how you’re doing and if you need any support or resources. Our alumni community strives to provide a safe and non-judgmental community for everyone.
We also offer weekly alumni recovery support meetings. All alumni are welcome to join these groups for processing, skill-building, and peer support.

Our alumni community works together to choose outings they want to participate in, such as:
- Beach days and nature walks

Collaboration plays a significant role in each event, and we’re always open to suggestions.

Alumni Coordinators
At Elevare Behavioral Health, we understand that recovery is an ongoing process, and sometimes it can feel like you’re doing it alone. That’s why we connect you with our alumni coordinators, who will offer personalized support and guidance after you complete treatment at one of our facilities.
Our alumni coordinators are trained to assist you in finding the best local recovery resources available. We encourage you to reach out if you need help in finding local 12-step meetings and other peer support groups, as well as any additional help you need in the recovery process. In addition to these resources, our alumni coordinators are dedicated to helping you keep your recovery goals on track with regular follow-ups and check-ins.
Elevare Behavioral Health also holds regular alumni support meetings that can provide ongoing support after recovery, as well as group activities and gatherings for those looking to stay connected with their peers. Even if you return home from out of state, our team can help connect you with local recovery networks, so you can build lasting relationships for ongoing support. We’re here to help you stay on the path to a lifelong recovery.
