Recovery for a Lifetime
Asheville Recovery Center’s Alumni Community
Graduation from our program isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. Our alumni community provides the lifelong support, connection, and encouragement you need to thrive in long-term recovery.
You Are Never Alone in Your Journey
At Asheville Recovery Center, we believe that connection is the opposite of addiction. The bonds you form during treatment are a powerful lifeline. Our alumni program is designed to nurture those connections and provide a steadfast support system long after you’ve left our care. We are a family, and our commitment to your well-being is for life.
Pillars of Our Alumni Program
Lifelong Support
Stay connected with our staff and your peers through regular check-ins, support groups, and a private online community. We are always here for you.
Sober Events & Activities
Join us for fun, sober social events like cookouts, hiking trips, and holiday gatherings. Rediscover how to have fun and build new, healthy memories.
Service & Giving Back
Find purpose and strengthen your own recovery by mentoring newcomers, sharing your story, and participating in community service initiatives.
Asheville Recovery Center Alumni Department
Our team is composed of individuals who are in recovery themselves and believe in setting an example on how individuals can live successful, fulfilling lives after treatment. We are dedicated to helping former clients stay connected with us and our network, which extends into the larger recovery community both locally and at large.

Our Alumni Mission Statement
Staying engaged with your recovery after treatment may present obstacles, and transitioning back into independent living and all of its responsibilities can be challenging; however, we at Asheville Recovery Center believe in the importance of staying connected after completing any of our treatment programs.
Building relationships with others in recovery and forming a support network is a strong defense against relapse and the goal of our Alumni program is to facilitate those connections. An alumni program for those in recovery serves as the perfect aftercare network for those who are practicing long-term sobriety and are looking for continued encouragement.
The recovery process is an ongoing journey that never ends and Asheville Recovery Center is here to support you every step of the way.
