About our alumni community

The essence of any community is connection, and in recovery, connection is the cornerstone—whether just starting out or years into the journey. Research shows that staying engaged improves long-term sobriety.

Caron’s Alumni Community offers a welcoming network of alumni who share their experiences, provide support and celebrate recovery. Whether you attended treatment on Magic Mountain, at our Florida location, or at one of our outpatient facilities, the many offerings and opportunities to stay connected are available to you. You are our community, and through your engagement and interaction, we support one another.

Participating in Caron’s Alumni Community allows you to draw upon the collective experience, strength, and hope within our welcoming network of alumni who celebrate recovery. As an integral part of that community, you'll have fun at gatherings, events, and entertainment with an extended social network of people flourishing in their recovery. Best of all, through participation you give the greatest gift of service: supporting others through their journey of recovery.

Stay engaged

Before you leave treatment, our full-time alumni team ensures that you are connected with the alumni community support through lectures, one-on-one meetings, and alumni speakers.

Once you move to the next phase of your journey, you can stay engaged through alumni contacts, weekly fellowship calls, and various events ranging from small local dinners to reunions and retreats. Best of all, your participation helps others by sharing hope and support.

Connection starts here.

Referring someone to treatment is the best help you can offer. As someone who has “been there,” you make that first connection easier. Call your alumni and family coordinator or the Alumni Referral Line at 800-854-6024. You can also:

Attend weekly Fellowship Meetings: Join our weekly fellowship meetings to stay connected and receive ongoing support from peers who understand your journey.
Alumni CONNECTIONS App: Access important recovery resources, stay informed about events, and connect with other alumni through our dedicated alumni app.
Volunteer to help at Caron events and workshops: Caron offers both on-campus and regional activities for alumni, families, and friends. Highlights include the Annual Reunion, Spiritual Retreat, Local Dinners, Gratitude Breakfasts, Caron's Got Talent, and other fun events. Check the Caron event page or contact your local coordinator for events near you.
Consider leaving a review to share your experience and give insights to someone who may be considering treatment.
Donate to Caron.
Sunday Chapel services are accessible on Caron's Chapel YouTube channel for a socially distant, safe way to stay connected. Alumni are welcome to return to Chapel to mark milestone anniversaries and receive a celebratory coin. Reservations are required and can be made here.
