Graduation & Alumni Program
When a client is ready for graduation, they’ve completed all 3 phases of our program. A sober lifestyle and self-sufficiency have become second nature. A strong external recovery network has been built and maintained for some time. Clients now have control and direction over their own lives and a clear future ahead.
The Foundations of A Future
At SOBA New Jersey, no one leaves until they are truly ready to succeed. As graduation nears we begin to pull external resources together. Our team contacts outside mental and healthcare professionals, sponsors, and educational institutions. We also reach out to employers or potential employers that the graduate will rely on. And, we lay out the next steps for our graduates so they are ready for life ahead.
By the time our client is ready to graduate they have already been introduced to these programs, individuals and groups. This allows the transition between life at SOBA New Jersey and their future to be seamless. Our approach also eliminates the anxiety of establishing these networks, which are critical to long-term success and sobriety.
Ensuring Our Graduates’ Success
Our care checkpoints and continual assessments ensure each client is 100% ready to graduate and begin a new path forward. Each clients’ discharge planning is extensive. We qualify every aspect to make sure life outside of treatment is peaceful and successful. More importantly, the client has an understanding of their recovery and the work that they’ll have to do every day to continue living a sober life.
Alumni: Always Part of Our Family
Our clients form incredibly strong bonds and great friendships during their
stay at SOBA New Jersey. The experience of growth and learning shared
between our clients and ourselves leaves a lasting impact. We’re
proud to call them our Alumni once graduation is complete. We host weekly
meetings specifically for our Alumni so that they can continue to discuss
their recovery and support one another. Alumni remain lifelong members
of our community and those relationships deepen at every step.
Our Alumni serve as a pillar of hope to those affected by the pains of active addiction. Alumni return to share their experiences, their strength and their hope with current clients to prove how effective and life changing the treatment program at SOBA New Jersey really is.
Alumni can help guide clients through the program, using their own experience of growth and change to inspire those around them. The completion of treatment here at SOBA New Jersey is not really an end, but rather the beginning of a new and exciting life in recovery.
