French Creek Recovery Center is taking special precautions to ensure that our staff and patients are not exposed to COVID-19.
About Our Alumni Program
Following discharge from residential treatment at French Creek, our graduates are invited to join our active alumni program. The alumni program is designed to keep the newly sober connected to the French Creek community while continuing their education in relapse prevention, identifying triggers, and strengthening their recovery goals. Graduates are invited to stay connected with our program through our annual events, weekly aftercare meetings, and online alumni groups.
Top 3 Benefits of Participating in the Alumni Program:
- Support
Recovery is not meant to be done alone. And the top reason we encourage members to get active in our program is the endless support offered by the hundreds of other alumni members who are successfully maintaining sobriety. Let’s face it, no one understands an addict like another addict. During our weekly aftercare groups (Virtually) you can discuss important topics in recovery with fellow alumni, connect with members and hold each other accountable - Network
We have alumni located all over PA and NY. When you are getting ready to leave treatment, you will meet with the alumni coordinator who can help connect you with other alumni in your area. These alumni members can help be a support, take you to your first meeting, or connect you to locate recovery in your area. - Substance Free Activities
Once a month, our Alumni Coordinator hosts an activity/event for our alumni members. These events vary in location are held all over PA and NY. The goal of these events is to create a safe place for alumni to enjoy their newfound sobriety, connect with other members and simply have fun! These events are listed in our French Creek App for our members to see and participate in.French Creek’s alumni coordinator is available seven days a week to anyone who completes our program. Our coordinator can help clients find meetings, a sponsor, get them connected to other alumni in their area, answer general recovery questions, or just be the person our alumni can relate to as someone else who suffers from the disease of addiction. You are not alone!
