Stay Connected With Us
WILLINGWAY'S ALUMNI PROGRAM
|
|
It is Willingway’s greatest hope that through our Alumni Program we are able to foster connections in ways that strengthen recovery and make hearts and lives more full. Upon completion of our program, alumni have a strong foundation for sobriety but care does not end at graduation. Our aim is to provide you with a smooth transition between your inpatient experience and everyday life, with continued involvement and support that keeps you connected to Willingway and recovery. Once you come through treatment with us, we consider you to be a part of our family.

We invite you to stay connected with us in the following ways:

Activities include an ice cream social, open house and BBQ on our main campus, pizza and dance party, sharing meetings, and recovery speakers. Homecoming 2018 will take place on April 27 – 29 in Statesboro, GA at The Belle House and promises to be our best one yet. Click here to register.
- If you are moving, vacationing, or are simply in need of recovery contacts or information, we will gladly put you in touch with Alumni support, 12-step recovery meeting schedules, or additional resources for your area.
- Our Alumni Coordinator is available to provide you with on-going support especially during difficult times. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are in need of encouragement or hope from someone who can empathize.
