Welcome to the Heartwood Recovery Alumni Program – a community dedicated to supporting your ongoing journey to recovery. As a graduate of our drug and alcohol rehabilitation program or transitional living, you’ll gain exclusive access to events, workshops, and ongoing support. Connect with fellow alumni, share experiences, and celebrate triumphs together. Join us in building a resilient community committed to a life of lasting recovery.
Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends—this is an experience you must not miss
Since opening in 2017, Heartwood Recovery has built a robust alumni network throughout Austin. Our residents integrate into this support system during treatment and maintain lifelong connections with men who continue to experience freedom from addiction.
The alumni program ensures that the fellowship and support you found during treatment continues long after you complete our program. Recovery doesn’t end at discharge—it’s a lifelong journey, and our alumni community walks alongside you every step of the way.
Join our monthly Heartwood Recovery Alumni Zoom meetings! Partake in quality fellowship, laughter, accountability, and deep conversations. These brief and impactful sessions offer a convenient way to stay connected and committed to your journey of recovery, no matter where you are.
Two Monthly in-person Heartwood Recovery Alumni meetings offer a chance to connect, share experiences, and strengthen your commitment to lasting recovery. Join us for a supportive environment, fostering camaraderie and inspiration on your ongoing journey. Don’t miss out on building a community dedicated to supporting each other in recovery!

H&I (Hospitals and Institutions) opportunities are a powerful way to ensure immunity from addiction. Engaging in intensive work with fellow alcoholics and addicts not only frees us from obsession but also becomes our joy and responsibility. If you're interested in learning more about carrying the message of recovery to those who still suffer, reach out for more information!
In our addiction, we often struggled to be of help, but in recovery, we've gained the freedom to give back and positively contribute to life. Join us in the team bonding experience of working together to be of service. Become part of the transformative journey!
Join the alumni committee and be a guiding force in shaping the direction of our program. Your involvement makes a meaningful impact on those who still suffer and the continued success of our Alumni Family!

If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence, they wouldn’t want it. We absolutely insist on enjoying life
Our alumni program includes regular outings and events that build fellowship and celebrate recovery:
Sessions with fellow family members of alumni, led by clinical staff. Join our family support group designed to provide a lifeline for individuals and families struggling with the devastating effects of addiction. These groups offer a safe and empathetic space where family members and friends can come together to share their experiences, seek guidance, and find solace in knowing they are not alone in their journey.
We celebrate individual alumni milestones for various lengths of sobriety! These celebrations honor your hard work, acknowledge your progress, and inspire others in the community. Whether you’re celebrating 30 days, one year, or multiple years of sobriety, your milestones matter and deserve recognition.
The transition from treatment back to everyday life presents challenges. Having a strong alumni network provides:
Regular check-ins and meetings help you stay focused on your recovery goals.
Relationships with other men in recovery provide understanding and support that's difficult to find elsewhere.
Giving back by helping others reinforces your own recovery and builds purpose.
Sharing your victories with people who understand the journey makes achievements more meaningful.
When challenges arise, your alumni community provides immediate support from people who've been there.
The bonds formed during treatment and maintained through alumni involvement often last a lifetime.
Whether you completed treatment last week or years ago, the Heartwood Recovery Alumni Program welcomes you. Stay connected, give back, celebrate your recovery, and support others on their journey.
