Sunshine Behavioral Health Alumni Group

We invite you to join our alumnus group and take part. 

Welcome!

When you complete treatment at one of our rehab facilities, you’ve accomplished something significant. It’s only one step of a person’s recovery journey, however. Achieving sobriety can be a huge source of pride, but it also can be bittersweet. Scary, even. Fortunately, you didn’t have to go it alone. You still don’t.
You’ve spent 30, 60, 90, or more days at one of our Sunshine Behavioral Health centers and come out stronger, healthier, and sober. And alive.

You may not be in one of our clinics any longer, but you’re one of the family. Perhaps you’re not related by blood, but you are linked through hard work and soul searching. We want you to stay connected, too, not just to our centers but to your peers as well.

17,000+ clients served at Sunshine Behavioral Health.

Sunshine Behavioral Health has several programs throughout the United States and our mission is to help people with compassionate, high-quality treatment.

We asked our alumni to share their recovery stories in hopes of inspiring and empowering those who choose to seek treatment for addiction and mental health.

Advantages of Being in an Alumnus Group

There are advantages to being part of a group that has shared common struggles, goals, and victories. Being active with alumni holds several distinct advantages including offering members:

  • A social connection
  • Exposure to different perspectives
  • A place to seek advice
  • Moral support
  • Unconditional care
  • Accountability
  • A group of peers

Connectedness has proven to be good for both physical and mental health. It can help individuals with conditions like depression and anxiety. It’s good for self-esteem and motivation. And it can be uplifting for those transitioning into lasting sobriety.
