Individuals and their loved ones can count on the team members of Turning Point Centers for a lifelong partnership. Our Alumni community offers support, encouragement, resources, and fun, sober activities to help participants sustain long-term recovery after the completion of alcohol and drug addiction treatment or mental health treatment.
We offer participants a safe space to meet and maintain relationships with peers and professionals who have assisted them in their recovery or wellness journey. Think of our alumni community as a lifetime aftercare program that helps you navigate through life as you reintegrate into society. This type of consistent encouragement and support helps keep you on track and reduces the possibility of a relapse.
What to Expect From an Alumni Community?
A typical alumni community program consists of various meetings, events, and gatherings designed to facilitate connections between those in recovery.
Our vibrant alumni community is involved in a variety of social activities, such as:
- Team sports (volleyball, basketball, softball, etc.)
- Support group meetings
- “Giving Back” to the community
- Participation in charitable events
- Online support through social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
Establishing and maintaining relationships with others in recovery is essential to a successful sober lifestyle.
Benefits of Alumni Community
There is a multitude of benefits to joining an alumni community. Some of them include the following:
- Sober relationships – Our alumni community helps individuals form meaningful, sober relationships with others in recovery, which can be challenging in the outside world.
- Support and guidance – After completing treatment programs, individuals can continue to receive support and guidance from their treatment providers and others in an alumni community.
- Ease of transition back to normal life – As they readjust to life after treatment, many individuals who have recently completed treatment often deal with anxiety and social isolation. This is made easier with the support of our alumni community.
- Relapse prevention – Our alumni community provides individuals with a solid support system, tools, and support to reduce the risk of relapse.
- Freedom of involvement – There is no pressure to attend every meeting or event with an alumni community. Individuals can attend whenever it is convenient to meet and connect with others.
Active participation in the recovery community is a crucial component of recovery maintenance. As such, Turning Point Centers is committed to maintaining an ongoing relationship with our graduates, which includes ensuring that we are thoroughly rooted in the communities we serve.
