Wellbrook Recovery

Because the sobriety journey doesn’t end when treatment does

While we all wish that addiction rehab is the complete solution and upon graduation, you’re just set for life, realistically though, several weeks of rehab is not enough. Moving beyond addiction is a continuous and sometimes trying process, and graduates from our program need an alumni program as robust as ours to stay in touch with their recovery and carry them into real life.

The two ways our alumni program
ensures your success

A strong support network

Our alumni program is built on the power of peer support—those who have walked along the same path. Our dedicated alumni network provides ongoing events, encouragement, and resources, helping you stay connected to your recovery. Together, we foster a network of support that ensures no one has to complete this courageous journey alone.

Sobriety remains a focus

After treatment, you’d be surprised how quickly life settles down. Work and family responsibilities continue to crop up from right where you left them. Distractions abound, and it’s easy to lose focus on maintaining sobriety. With our alumni program, recovery maintains a critical space in your everyday life. During our events and meetings, you’ll be reminded of the therapies and lessons, keeping sobriety front and center for a truly blessed life.

A calendar full of exciting events

Weekly meetings

Reconnect with your recovery energy and peers, share experiences, and offer support to one another in a comfortable space.

Check-ins

Receive guidance and encouragement at regular check-ins with our team and your peers.

Outings and gatherings

Stay connected with recovery friends and enjoy life together in a sober, supportive environment.

Sports leagues

Whether it’s baseball, basketball, or other sports, enjoy camaraderie in a positive setting with our sports leagues.

Sports watch sober parties

With roaring fun, gather to watch Packers, Bucks, Brewers, or Guardians, Browns games in a safe, substance-free space.

Alumni presentations

Share your story and inspire current clients. When we strengthen each other, we strengthen ourselves.

An online community of our own

Our alumni app is where much of the fun happens! Stay in touch with chats, milestones, and photo sharing, follow upcoming alumni events, get and provide support, take sobriety surveys, and celebrate recovery in our private space, where every member is cherished and staying sober is a common goal.

When you’re ready to go into the big wide world, you can stick together with your Wellbrook friends to maintain all your hard-earned progress and new quality of life.

Please join us in welcoming Ben Peerbolt, LCSW, MSW, MBA, to WellBrook Recovery as our new Clinical Director at our Brookfield location!⁠
⁠
Ben brings extensive experience in addiction treatment and clinical leadership. In his role, he will provide clinical oversight and help strengthen our commitment to delivering exceptional care to every person who walks through our doors.⁠
⁠

⁠
Welcome to the team, Ben!⁠
At first glance, these three products may seem closely related.⁠
⁠
But when you compare them side by side, the differences are striking.⁠
⁠
One of the biggest concerns we're seeing is that products marketed under the "kratom" umbrella can have dramatically different pharmacological effects. While many consumers believe they're purchasing a natural botanical supplement, some products on the market today are concentrated or synthetic opioid agonists with significant dependence potential.⁠
⁠
As clinicians, staying informed about these emerging substances is becoming increasingly important as they appear more frequently in treatment settings.⁠
⁠
Our latest blog takes a deeper dive into each of these compounds and why understanding the differences matters for patient education and treatment planning.⁠
⁠
For those working in addiction treatment, behavioral health, emergency medicine, or primary care:⁠
How can we do a better job of educating the public about these rapidly evolving substances?⁠
⁠

⁠
People often picture discharge as the finish line.⁠
⁠
In reality, it's the beginning of learning how to navigate everyday life differently.⁠
⁠
Returning home means rebuilding routines, navigating old environments, and adjusting to family dynamics that may have shifted during treatment. It can be exciting, overwhelming, and hopeful all at once.⁠
⁠
Recovery doesn't end when treatment does. That's why aftercare, alumni support, and continued connection matter.⁠

What do you think people underestimate most about the transition home?
