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.
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?
At The Arbor, our compassionate team of experienced professionals will devise a customized treatment plan that encompasses your entire recovery journey. Our clients love our alumni program for many reasons, including the following:
Social Space
Being social can be difficult in early recovery. Being surrounded by other sober friends makes this task much more comfortable.
Connection
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.
Enjoying Recovery
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 in Texas
With treatment and continuing care, Texans in recovery experience the powerful strength of group support. Through this process, The Arbor alumni continue to grow and acquire the recovery skills necessary for successful living while realizing the goodness of recovery, one day at a time.
Successful long-term recovery requires a robust support system.
The 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!
Many of our clients have long histories of being treated for mental and physical health concerns—often cycling through different medications with minimal lasting relief. A significant barrier to effective treatment is the fear of withdrawal, leading some individuals to withhold information about their substance use from healthcare providers. While substances may provide temporary relief, they often worsen mental health conditions over time.
At The Arbor, we recognize that honesty and comprehensive care are key to sustainable healing. Our team works closely with each individual to uncover the true impact of substance use on their mental health, ensuring they receive an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
