What is an alumni program?
It's the recovery community you keep after treatment ends. When you finish PHP or IOP with us, you get a weekly alumni group and monthly check-ins with a counselor from your team. You also get sober events, from hiking meetups to sober dinners, and the clinical team still picks up the phone.
How do I join the alumni program?
There's no separate sign-up. As you near the end of PHP or IOP, your team builds an aftercare plan with you and connects you to the alumni community. That way there's no gap between treatment and what comes next.
Why stay connected after treatment ends?
The first months after treatment are often the hardest. The schedule that held you steady is gone, and old routines are waiting. SAMHSA names community as one of four things that hold up a life in recovery. Isolation pulls the other way.
We lay out a full continuing care plan in what happens after rehab.
They’re not just focused on my addiction. They’re helping me figure out how to actually put my life back together, one piece at a time.
How long does alumni support last?
Your scheduled support runs for a full year after you finish, with a weekly group and a monthly one-on-one check-in. Our phone line never closes, so you don't have to wait for a scheduled call when things get hard.

What happens if I start using again after treatment?
Call us at (424) 208-3120, any hour. A return to use is a sign your support needs to change. We help you get steady first, then a free assessment shows which level of care fits now. Stepping back into IOP for a while doesn't erase the work you've done.

Will insurance pay if I need to come back to treatment?
Alumni get priority admission back into our programs, with no re-intake delays. We work with most major PPO plans, and many plans may cover more care when it's medically necessary. We check your benefits for free, usually within the hour.
California's SB 855 and federal parity law say health plans have to cover addiction and mental health care that's medically necessary.
