Florida Rehab Alumni Program
Addiction Treatment Alumni in Fort Myers
In treatment, you will learn the essential skills to manage your addiction and mitigate the risk of relapse. Ideally, you will complete your program feeling more prepared to cope with everyday life without using drugs or alcohol.
But even the best treatment services can’t account for the chronic nature of addiction recovery. Once you’re back in the real world, triggers, stressors, and difficult relationships can put a strain on your well-being. Your new life may suddenly feel a lot more stressful.
At Celadon Recovery, we embrace our clients staying connected with a long-term recovery community. We are proud to offer a support system that can help you feel guided in the weeks, months, and years after leaving our treatment center.
How Our Alumni Treatment Program Helps
Effective treatment requires a robust continuing care program. While we take pride in our detox and residential programs, we understand that you need an ongoing support network in your recovery journey. It just isn’t enough to complete an episode of detox or a few months of outpatient treatment.
Our alumni program is designed to promote long-term recovery. In fact, your Celadon Recovery alumni peers will be your biggest supporters, and they’ll be with you every step of the journey.
Monthly Alumni Meetings
Our monthly alumni meetings offer inspiration and guidance for people in early recovery. Our alumni meetings differ in nature, but they largely focus on maintaining a positive recovery process. We often use guest speakers, staff members, and former clients to share their strength and hope. The organization is much the same as a 12-step support for continuity ease.
12-Step Support Groups
12-step programs and other peer-led support groups offer validation and encouragement throughout your substance abuse treatment. These groups are free and available to anyone seeking recovery. Many of them also host various social gatherings and sober activities.
Mental Health Support
It’s normal to still struggle with your emotions and coping skills after completing your addiction treatment. In fact, many people feel somewhat lost during those early days of recovery. However, our alumni program encourages you to maintain a weekly outpatient appointment and be candid about what you’re feeling so those around you can help.
Sponsorship
Getting a 12-step sponsor is a crucial component of our alumni program. Our Fort Myers treatment campus endorses mentoring relationships. It’s no more complicated than hear and take suggestions from those who have walked (and succeeded) in the same shoes. Moreover, enlisting a sponsor in AA, NA, CA, etc., is a recovery game-changer.
Sober Social Events
From cookouts to bowling to movie nights, there’s no reason you can’t have fun when you’re sober. In fact, many of our clients find that they can appreciate life’s activities much more than they did when they were active in their addictions.
Lasting Relationships
Connection is one of the most paramount parts of any alumni community. We believe your friends can be positively influential in helping you keep your life on track. That’s why our events focus on building and maintaining connections.
Relapse Prevention
While alumni groups can’t inherently stop someone from relapsing, they do provide ongoing social support, encouragement, and safety for our clients. Along with completing our drug rehab and residing in a sober living home, we recommend staying closely connected to your recovery center.
