Alumni

The work of recovery doesn’t end upon graduation from Victory. We have an active alumni program designed to keep our graduates connected to the Victory community while continuing their education in relapse prevention, identifying triggers, and strengthening their recovery goals.

We invite you to stay connected through our alumni program, which offers the following benefits:

• Annual events: each spring, we host an Alumni & Family BBQ in a local park. This is a great opportunity to visit with other alums and reconnect with the staff at Victory. We also host a Summer Social in July that is open to the Lafayette recovery community and a Family-Friendly Mardi Gras celebration.
• Weekly Aftercare Meetings: these meetings are held each Tuesday from 5:30-6:30pm at Victory. This is a networking and support group to share your challenges and successes in recovery.

Prior to discharge, our counselors will make recommendations about aftercare options, which may include attending our outpatient program or joining our outpatient group sessions for up to twelve months post-completion. We will work with resources in your local community to connect you with AA meetings and counselors who are appropriate for follow-up care.

Resources about ongoing care can be found on our blog and in our alumni Facebook group.
