Alumni

VICTORY HAS AN INDUSTRY-LEADING ALUMNI SUPPORT PROGRAM OFFERING COMPREHENSIVE POST-TREATMENT SERVICES.

We promote Unity, Recovery, and Inclusivity with our alumni; Building strength from their shared experience.  Our commitment to alumni is unwavering and multifaceted. We check in with alumni at crucial recovery milestones, and our Victory Alumni Community App keeps our community engaged with personalized messages, peer support, and a rich repository of recovery resources.

We invite you to stay connected with us and your peers in our alumni program, which offers the following benefits:

  • The Victory app: A social media app customized for Victory alumni only. It serves as a way for us to stay more connected to you and for you to stay in touch with others who have finished treatment at Victory. We offer resources, support, contests, and updates on all alumni events. https://varc.getcaredfor.com/
  • Events: Monthly Social Events, an Alumni & Family BBQ, and Christmas Party.
  • Weekly Aftercare Meetings: these meetings are held each Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 p.m. We use the power of the group to support each other in challenges and successes in recovery.

  • Monthly Newsletters: Information includes updates to programming, the Alumni Group, and events. We focus on ways to strengthen and keep on track in recovery, and to keep people abreast on what is going on in the recovery community.
  • Return as a Guest Speaker: Return to Victory six months after leaving to speak to our current clients.
Our alumni coordinator Jonathon is here to assist former clients in getting and staying connected to a support system in the recovery community.

“One of the focuses of the alumni program is unity, ‘Personal recovery depends on unity.’ As a combat veteran I have experienced a brotherhood like no other; in recovery, it is very similar. Many people in recovery share a bond because of shared struggles and experience; Unity can be built on these shared experiences when nurtured in a positive way. My goal is to help people find a community they can feel a part of, and can challenge them in both recovery and life.

As a veteran I understand what it means to serve. I continue my lifelong service to the Victory alumni, and those who still struggle with substances. As a person in recovery myself, I understand many of the struggles new clients face when coming to a treatment facility. I am the hand of Victory to the community and our former clients.”
