The AKUA Mind & Body family is extremely proud of our clients who successfully complete our program. We have every reason to celebrate. However, road to recovery doesn’t end with their discharge, nor does our treatment.
We firmly believe it is important for those who complete any of our programs to stay connected with the AKUA family for a lifetime. Aftercare is an extremely important part of sustained recovery.
Our Aftercare Alumni Program is comprised of individuals who constantly support growth through recovery.
This is done by maintaining connection and activity with a recovery community at our facility. Clients can participate in our Alumni Program free of charge. They will gain access to a network of former graduates and other like-minded individuals who empower each other to stay on the path of healthy recovery.
The AKUA Mind & Body Alumni Program establishes a social support network of recovering people and provides structure to help sustain emotional, physical and mental wellbeing following treatment.
The Alumni Programs’ mission is to extend the AKUA Behavioral Health program beyond treatment by creating events and providing resources to strengthen the sense of connection that is essential to long-term recovery.
AKUA Mind & Body’s goal is to be with clients through every step of the journey. We conduct weekly alumni meetings as well as exciting events that prove joy and fun is possible in recovery. We also offer aid and useful information through our private Alumni-only App, social media page, as well as real-time support through our 24-hour helpline.
Our Alumni coordinators are in charge of planning sober events for members. They also keep in touch with our clients via our proprietary App, through email, text, or phone to frequently check-in to ensure that clients are on the right track, and to offer guidance as part of the aftercare.
