Clearview Treatment Programs Alumni Program:

Connect. Commit. Cultivate.

Our Guiding Principles: The Three Cs

The Three Cs provide the foundation for the Clearview Treatment Programs Alumni Program.

CONNECT

our communities to our alumni and their families in a meaningful way.

COMMIT

to serving and guiding our alumni and their families.

CULTIVATE

strong communities that will continue their recovery journeys together.

Alumni Program Components

Support Groups

Our Alumni Relations Team facilitates discharge interviews for Clearview clients as well as various support groups for clients, alumni, and their families to help them connect with and commit to the program.

Discharge Interviews

During each interview, the Alumni Relations Coordinator introduces the program, answers any questions, and collects membership information.

Discharge Group

Throughout each client’s stay, the discharge group allows clients to check in, share their experiences, find support, and receive education on the program.

Alumni Support Group

Within this weekly group, alumni can check in, share their experiences, and find support.

Family Support Group

Within this weekly group, families can check in, share their experiences, and find support.

Post-Discharge Outreach

We know that consistent contact cultivates relationships. After leaving Clearview, each alumni receives an initial check-in, as well as ongoing scheduled check-ins. During these check-ins, recovery challenges and the needed resources are identified and addressed so our alumni and their families feel supported.

The Group Me App and Private Facebook Page

The app and private page allow alumni and their families to instantly connect with other program members. Members can post, build friendships, access support groups, track events and milestones, and more. The Alumni Relations Coordinator administers groups and provides support as well as holds all members accountable to each group’s rules.

Volunteer Committee

Our alumni program is run, governed, and supported by our volunteer committee, which works in conjunction with our Alumni Relations Coordinator. The only requirements for committee membership include attending the once-a-month meetings and participating in most alumni community events.

Events

We believe in connection through group activities! Recovery is about being a part of life and experiencing new events. The volunteer committee votes on various quarterly events, including reunions, beach trips, bowling, and more.

Testimonials

What Our Alumni and Families Are Saying

“Clearview and its staff members helped me in so many ways. I stayed for 30 days and leaving was bittersweet. My traumas were always validated, and I never felt judged. Everyone always offered help even at 2:00 am when I had panic attacks. Ana especially stood out to me as she always offered a listening ear, even after I left the facility. She hosts Alumni nights that are absolutely needed for reconnecting and connecting with new likeminded people. Thank you, Clearview.” - Grateful Clearview Alumnus

“Going through the treatment program at Clearview was a complete game changer for me. The staff really helped address the underlying issues of my substance abuse and really focused on mental health issues. They provided a safe and structured environment where I was able to focus on working on and achieving my own goals, which felt amazing. I feel like I learned and accomplished so much at the residential program and through the different levels of care that I received through Clearview.” -Grateful Clearview Alumnus

“Clearview saved my life. It was a professional, loving environment. They not only educated me on how to manage my own mental illness but educated my whole family on how to support a loved one living with mental illness. I highly recommend Clearview Women’s Center and appreciate each and every staff member who helped me learn how to have a fulfilling life worth living.” - Grateful Clearview Alumnus

“Clearview took the scariest day of my life and made me feel like it was going to be ok. What I didn’t know then, but I know now, is that as I walked through this experience for myself, they were helping my family navigate it as well. Just as I got the care and resources that I needed, they also made sure that my family was getting the same.” - Grateful Clearview Alumnus

“I attended Clearview two years ago and am still sober and free from the issues that led to my attendance there. Leilani, Lynn, Ana, Ben, Jojo, and the entire community has stayed connected with me and helped me achieve a much better effective life and I am forever grateful.” - Grateful Clearview Alumnus

“Clearview gave me back my child. I would highly recommend Clearview to any of my family and friends who are struggling with addiction or behavioral problems.” - Grateful Parent of a Clearview Alumnus

“Clearview is wonderful. I called to get my niece into one of their programs and truly felt heard, cared for, and helped. They took the time to hear my concerns and explain everything we needed to know about getting her into treatment, including the different types of treatment, the cost, and the expectations of us as her family members, which is something nobody ever talked to us about.” - Grateful Family Member of a Clearview Alumnus

“I am so grateful for Clearview Treatment Center. They helped my daughter in a time of tremendous stress and pain in our family, and the growth that is possible within the structure of this program is astounding. Taking full advantage of the program is easy with clinical staff and therapists who all obviously care deeply about your well-being. Clearview has made me and my daughter more hopeful about the future of living with BPD and has provided solutions I’m not sure we could find elsewhere. It is an interdisciplinary approach to mental health, and a place that I would highly recommend to those struggling. Thank you, Clearview.” - Grateful Parent of a Clearview Alumnus

“Going to treatment is a scary experience. It’s scary for the patient and just as much so for the parents and family. Most of the treatment centers have nice facilities, nutritious food, gym, and yoga access, etc. Clearview has all those things as well but it’s not what makes them truly special.” - Grateful Parent of a Clearview Alumnus
