Continuing Care Group

After completion of the acute care, inpatient portion of your program, you’ll transition into weekly alumni group meetings where you’ll find connection and accountability as you build your recovery foundation.

Alumni

Being an Aurora Alumni means remaining part of a lifelong recovery community rooted in hope, connection, and growth. Recovery continues beyond treatment through ongoing support, meaningful relationships, and shared experiences. Alumni stay connected by attending events, volunteering, mentoring, and celebrating milestones together. By sharing their journey and supporting others, Aurora Alumni demonstrate that recovery is possible, strengthen recovery capital, and help build healthier individuals, families, and communities. Recovery for Life starts here—and continues together.

12 Step Community

Life after treatment means engaging in behavioural and lifestyle changes that will sustain your recovery for life. Much like any chronic condition (hypertension, diabetes, coronary issues, etc) when you have the acute phase of treatment you’re prescribed a specific treatment plan that is monitored throughout your stay, ensuring you’re responding favorably. When you leave acute care you’re provided with an ongoing recovery management plan with regular follow up, prescribed treatment plan, lifestyle changes, and regular involvement with some form of mutual aid support group. This is where a peer support group plays a pivotal role. The accountability and support provided by working a 12 Step program ensures that you will continue to grow and thrive.

Alternative Recovery Community

12 Step-based recovery isn’t for everyone and we recognize that there are many paths to recovery. A critical component of your continuing care is connection, accountability and support. The evidence supports positive long term outcomes when you remain engaged in ongoing support and we have a variety of alternatives to offer you.

Alumni Community on Social Media

We invite you to join our alumni only private Facebook page. You’ll be able to stay connected and current on upcoming events, and get enhanced communication and support from staff and other alumni.
