Completing treatment at Guardian Recovery is a tremendous accomplishment. But recovery doesn’t end when your formal program does.

Our Alumni Program ensures that you’re never alone on your recovery journey. Once you complete treatment with Guardian Recovery, you become part of a lifelong community of support, connection, and continued growth.

Recovery is a lifelong journey. So is our commitment to you.

Alumni programming includes:

Regular alumni meetings and support groups
Social events and recovery-focused activities
Educational workshops and guest speakers
Volunteer and mentorship opportunities
Online community and resources
Crisis support when you need it
A place to celebrate your milestones

You’re not a former client—you’re family.

Why Alumni Support Matters

Research is clear: ongoing support after treatment dramatically improves long-term recovery outcomes.

Alumni programming provides:

Continued Connection: Recovery thrives in community. Stay engaged with others who understand your journey.

Ongoing Accountability: Regular connection with your recovery community helps keep you focused and motivated.

Lifelong Learning: Continue developing recovery skills through workshops and peer support.

Meaningful Friendships: The bonds formed in treatment can last a lifetime through alumni involvement.

Support During Challenges: When life gets difficult, your alumni community is there to help you stay strong.

Opportunities to Give Back: Sharing your experience with others in early recovery strengthens your own sobriety.

Celebration of Milestones: Your sobriety anniversaries matter—we’re here to celebrate them with you.

What We Offer

Regular Alumni Meetings

Monthly or bi-weekly support groups led by Guardian Recovery staff provide ongoing connection, accountability, and skill reinforcement. Share successes, work through challenges, and strengthen your recovery with peers who understand.

Social Events and Activities

Fun, sober social events throughout the year—picnics, game nights, recovery walks, holiday celebrations, sporting events, and community service projects. Recovery doesn’t have to be serious all the time.

Educational Workshops

Quarterly workshops on topics like relapse prevention, stress management, healthy relationships, career development, mindfulness, and overall wellness. Guest speakers in long-term recovery share their stories and wisdom.

Volunteer and Mentorship Opportunities

Give back by sharing your story with current clients, mentoring recent graduates, helping at events, or supporting others navigating early recovery. Service strengthens your own sobriety.

Online Community

Stay connected through our private alumni online group, virtual meetings, newsletter, recovery resources, and celebration of sobriety milestones—even if you can’t attend in person.

Crisis Support

If you’re struggling, we’re here to help. Access crisis support, treatment referrals if needed, and guidance in navigating challenges without returning to substance use.

Who Can Participate?

Anyone who has completed treatment at any Guardian Recovery program is automatically part of our alumni community—including graduates of:

It doesn’t matter how long ago you completed treatment or which location you attended. Once you’re a Guardian Recovery alumnus, you’re always welcome.
