Outreach and Recovery Management
Each treatment program has its own Alumni Group consisting of program graduates who continue to meet and together strengthen their resolve to remain drug-and-alcohol free. This network of youth with shared experiences helps former clients to continue pursuing their positive goals with ongoing support and recovery-related activities. We work closely with a range of 12-step groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Cocaine Anonymous (CA), in different locations throughout San Diego County. Referrals to these groups are available upon request. Please contact the programs listed above for more information about the Alumni Groups and their activities.
