In recovery, connection isn’t optional — it’s life or death. Yet in behavioral health, too many programs face the same challenge: after graduation, clients lose touch. Alumni drift, referrals and readmissions are missed, and retention suffers. The result? Programs lose momentum, and more importantly, lives are put at risk.

Most treatment centers want to build strong alumni programs but struggle with limited staff, unclear strategy, or the wrong tools. Without a clear plan, alumni engagement never takes off. That’s where Team Recovery comes in.

We’ve built more than just a mobile app. We’ve created a full-service alumni engagement solution designed to help programs operationalize their alumni strategy and make it sustainable.

Here’s what sets Team Recovery apart:

  1. Consulting & Coaching – We don’t just hand you technology; we partner with your team to create a proven alumni roadmap.
  2. Automated Engagement – Push notifications, messaging, and check-ins help alumni feel connected even after treatment ends.
  3. Real-Time Data – Programs gain insights into alumni activity, referrals, and overall engagement to make smarter decisions.
  4. Community-Building Tools – The app provides a safe space for alumni to connect, share, and support one another.

The future of behavioral health isn’t only about treatment outcomes — it’s about long-term community. Connection is the cure.

With Team Recovery, you get more than software. You get a committed partner dedicated to your alumni success.
