Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after treatment?
Even before most people start treatment, they ask what will happen after they complete
the program. Hazelden has extensive resources worldwide for people once they leave our program, including continuing care plans and service, AA/NA contacts, educational materials for continued growth, and alumni chapters and events in many cities. Wherever you live, you will be able to stay in touch and continue to enhance your recovery through the comprehensive resources of Hazelden.
What is the Alumni program?
Hazelden believes in the importance of keeping people connected following their treatment or other service experience. Our alumni are all over the world and they have developed alumni chapters and group events to maintain their connection to Hazelden. Alumni reunions, special events, newsletters, bookstore discounts, conferences and many other activities unite alumni. Explore the Alumni information section for more details.
Do I have to keep going to AA or other Twelve Step group meetings?
These mutual self-help groups provide wonderful fellowship and help people hold a steady course after treatment, particularly by building connections within their home communities. Recovery from addiction is a life-long journey and treatment is only the first step. Working the Twelve Step program and attending meetings is proven to help people maintain abstinence and grow within their recovery.
