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

Sports leagues

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

Sports watch sober parties

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.

the program. "

Highly Recommend

" The alumni AA house meetings are the best I’ve ever attended. Even though I’m not there anymore, I stay connected with the staff and fellow alumni. I highly recommend Wellbrook to anyone struggling
with addiction. "

Last night, we came together for The Light We Carry, an evening to remember those we've lost to addiction and overdose, and to hold space for everyone still fighting for recovery.

Jeff Johnston opened the night with a keynote that set the tone. Our panel: Stephanie Shannon Kelley (@sober_steph_mom_nurse), Hailey Frangesch, Byron Thompson (@bthompson215), and Michael Beyer shared their own stories with honesty and hope.

As a violinist played, we lifted tealights together for a moment of silence. Many stood at the Memory Wall, where the names and faces of those we've lost were honored. There weren't many dry eyes in the room.

Thank you to From Scratch Catering for the food that fed us, and to everyone who showed up and reminded us what community and support look like in practice.

Congratulations to Susie Austin, who won our raffle for a $200 gift card to Carnevor Steakhouse.

Tonight, and every night, we carry this light together. If you or someone you love needs support, we're here. 🕯️
Last Saturday, Sam came back to Brookfield to celebrate a powerful milestone: 1 year of sobriety with the WellBrook community that walked this journey with him.

He shared an honest, vulnerable talk with our current residents, about hitting a downward spiral after college, and the ongoing work of accountability, amends, and rebuilding relationships that recovery asks for every day.

Watching someone who once sat in those same chairs come back as proof that this is possible is exactly why we do this.

We celebrated with Poké bowls and his one-year chip, then carried it into Soberfest 6 with Rise Recovery Live at Pere Marquette Park.

Proud of you, Sam, thank you for sharing your story and showing others what's possible.
