Benefits of Our Alumni Recovery Program

Part of our mission has always been to ensure that all teens who graduate from our program have a supportive, therapeutic “home” to come back to. Many teens express that the most valuable therapeutic support comes from the peer network they established while at Ascend’s residential treatment center.

Following the completion of a substance abuse or mental health treatment program, you and your teen can continue to benefit from access to monthly process and support groups in addition to an ongoing mental health alumni program.

A Different Kind of Support System

While many of those who have overcome mental illness and substance abuse have support from their loved ones and friends, this support group might not have experienced substance abuse and mental illness themselves. Our teen mental health alumni recovery program connects your teen with others who have walked a similar path and can uniquely identify with the struggles that mental disorders and addiction have forced them to confront.

By listening, understanding, and supporting the people who need them most, members of our alumni program also learn more about their own journey towards sobriety and mental health. We believe the alumni recovery program is beneficial to current residents of Ascend as well as those who have already completed treatment. The connections this program creates last far beyond your teen’s time at our facility and provides them with a lasting support system they can turn to their entire lives.
