Building new, healthy friendships and relearning how to have fun sober helps to keep you engaged and happy in your recovery, which is why we offer monthly events to help you do just that. Our events are an opportunity to go outside of your comfort zone, rediscover your passions, give back to the community, and form lasting bonds.
Giving back to the community not only helps others but also strengthens your recovery by helping you cultivate a sense of gratitude. By helping you discover a new purpose and feel more accomplished, volunteering places you in a more positive frame of mind that fosters personal growth, emotional development, and spiritual strength.
Alumni with at least six months of sobriety share personal stories of recovery with current Mountainside clients. This helps clients see that recovery is possible and begin to visualize a healthy, sober future.
Alumni with at least a year of sobriety who help new alumni transition to life outside of treatment by helping them get to support groups and 12 Step meetings, as well as establishing a support network.
