BALANCE
Alumni Group
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does.
Leaving PHP or IOP can be a big transition.
You may feel proud of how far you’ve come and still miss the structure, familiarity, and people who understood what you were working through.
The BALANCE Alumni Group was created so you can stay connected to that sense of community after discharge.
Once a month, former BALANCE clients come together to check in, reflect, share what life in recovery actually looks like, and stay connected to others who understand the process.
You do not need to have recovery “figured out” to belong here. This is a space to keep showing up.
What the group is like
Each month, we create space for honest conversation about life after treatment: the progress, the setbacks, the awkward middle parts, and the everyday work of continuing recovery outside of a structured program.
Topics may include:
- Staying connected to recovery when life gets busy
- Navigating relationships, work, school, and stress
- Managing difficult moments and old patterns
- Rebuilding trust in yourself
- Staying grounded in your values and goals
- Adjusting to life after a higher level of care
- Finding connection with people who genuinely understand
There is no pressure to come in with something profound to say. You can share, listen, reflect, or simply be in the room with people who get it.

Who can join?
The Alumni Group is for former BALANCE PHP and IOP clients who are at a point in recovery where a monthly community-based support group feels appropriate.
Before joining, you’ll complete a brief check-in with our team. This gives us a chance to reconnect, hear how things have been going since discharge, answer any questions, and make sure the group feels like the right fit for where you are now.
You do not need to have had a perfect discharge or a perfect recovery.
Ready to come back and reconnect? We’d love to hear from you.
After your check-in, we’ll send you everything you need to register and join the group. Have questions before getting started?
A quick note about support
The Alumni Group is a community-based recovery support space and is separate from ongoing PHP or IOP treatment.
It does not replace individual therapy, nutrition care, medical care, or crisis support.
If it looks like you may benefit from more support right now, our team will talk with you about what may be most helpful before joining the group.
You don’t have to lose the sense of community that came with treatment just because treatment has ended.
The Alumni Group is a way to stay connected, keep reflecting, and continue recovery alongside people who understand the work.
