Recovery doesn't have an end date.
Neither does our program.

What the alumni program includes

Everything below is included at no cost for every Paramount graduate, indefinitely. There's no membership fee, no time limit, no enrollment.

Weekly community meetings

Open meetings at our Aurora facility, typically Tuesday evenings. Different group formats each week — peer-led sharing, structured topics, milestone celebrations. Most regular attendees describe these meetings as the central anchor of their recovery community.

Sponsor matching

For graduates without a sponsor from another recovery community (AA, NA, etc.), we match alumni with longer-sobriety alumni for one-on-one mentorship. Sponsor matching isn't required — many of our graduates find sponsors through 12-step communities — but it's available for anyone who wants it.

Milestone celebrations

30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years. We acknowledge them all, publicly when you want and privately when you don't. The 1-year and 5-year celebrations typically include a dinner and recognition at our facility.

Family programming

Multi-family groups happen monthly. Family education courses run quarterly. Both are open to alumni and their families, indefinitely after graduation — because the work family members do to support recovery is also ongoing.

Clinical re-engagement, no questions asked

The most important promise we make: if you relapse, you call us. Same number, same clinical team where possible. We don't make you start over with strangers. We don't treat relapse as a moral failure — we treat it clinically, adjust the plan, and keep going.

Social events and meaningful traditions

Annual alumni picnic (typically July). Holiday gatherings (Thanksgiving and the Christmas/Hanukkah season are especially important in recovery — many alumni come regardless of where they're at). Hikes, family-friendly events, and occasional recovery-focused retreats.

Who attends

About 1,800 Paramount graduates are active in the alumni community across various touchpoints. That number grows every month.

What strikes most people on their first alumni meeting is the demographic range — older and younger, every income level, every background. The people who got sober ahead of you become a kind of evidence for you, and the people you got sober alongside become something close to chosen family.

How to engage

If you completed treatment at Paramount, you're already enrolled. Show up to a meeting, email the alumni team, or call our main line and ask for alumni services. We'll get you plugged in.

If you're currently in treatment with us, the alumni program is introduced during your discharge planning — you don't have to navigate it on your own.
