About Our Alumni Community

The essence of any community is connection—and in recovery, connection is everything. Whether you're just starting out or have years of sobriety behind you, staying engaged with a recovery community plays a powerful role in maintaining long-term recovery. Research supports what many of us already know: connection fosters healing, resilience, and growth.

Caron’s Alumni Community is a vibrant, welcoming network of alumni who share their experiences, offer support, and celebrate life in recovery together. Whether your journey began on Magic Mountain, in Florida, or at one of our regional or outpatient centers, you are part of this community—and always will be.

Through your continued involvement, you draw upon a collective reservoir of experience, strength, and hope. You’ll find fun and fellowship at gatherings and events, strengthen your recovery through connection, and offer others the most meaningful form of service: your presence and support.

Stay engaged

Before you leave treatment, Caron’s full-time alumni team will introduce you to the community through lectures and alumni speakers, one-on-one meetings, and alumni speaker panels. From there, the journey continues—because connection doesn’t end after discharge.

Here are a few ways to stay involved:

Fellowship Meetings: Join weekly virtual or in-person meetings to stay connected with fellow alumni.
Alumni CONNECTIONS App: Access recovery resources, event updates, and a network of peers right from your phone. Stay plugged in no matter where you are.
Alumni Ambassador: help foster connection, community, and hope. Ambassadors are often one of the first recovery connections a newly discharged alum makes. You can serve locally or on a national level—by welcoming new alumni, supporting Caron events, sharing your story, or simply being present for someone beginning their recovery journey.
Consider leaving a review to share your story and help others who may be considering treatment.
Refer a Loved One to Treatment: As someone who’s “been there,” your support can make all the difference. Contact your alumni and family coordinator or call the Alumni Referral Line at 800.854.6024.
Donate to Caron. Support future generations of individuals and families on the path to recovery.

Spiritual Support and Inspiration

Sunday Chapel Services: Attend virtually via the Caron Chapel YouTube channel or return in person to mark milestone anniversaries and receive a celebratory coin. You can let us know you are coming ahead of time by completing this form here.
Register to receive daily inspirational texts by texting CARON to 33777. You will receive a message back asking you to confirm by responding yes. You’ll begin receiving daily messages at 9:30 a.m. EST.
Submit inspirational or reflective stories, letters, poetry, or artwork to Caron’s newsletters by email Alumni@Caron.org.

Connection starts here.

At Caron, recovery doesn’t end when treatment does—it expands, deepens, and strengthens through community. By engaging with our alumni network, you gain the support you need and become the support someone else is looking for.

Together, we walk the journey. One day, one person, one connection at a time.
