Alumni Services
A Bridge to Life, Connection, and Lasting Recovery
Recovery is more than maintaining sobriety. It’s about building a life filled with purpose, connection, and support. Pavillon’s Alumni Services exists to empower and support lifelong recovery by fostering a vibrant, connected community of alumni who continue to thrive, inspire, and give back. Through meaningful engagement, resources, and mentorship, we aim to create a network that nurtures growth, resilience, and hope, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to lead a fulfilling and sober life long after treatment.
Leaving treatment is the beginning of a lifelong journey, and the Pavillon alumni network is here to walk with you. Whether you’re new to recovery or years into sobriety, this community is your bridge back to connection, strength, and hope. It allows long-time alumni to give back, share their experience, and inspire others. No one should have to navigate recovery alone.
Alumni Services at Pavillon is here for you for life. Patients gain access to a wide array of Alumni Benefits the moment they complete any Pavillon treatment program. We send regular emails, newsletters, and texts to inform you about recovery resources, upcoming events, and ways to stay involved.
If you’re ready to strengthen your connection to the Pavillon alumni community, contact Alumni Services at alumni@pavillon.org or call 828-694-2300.

Benefits
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation; it thrives in connection. Being plugged into a recovery community can make all the difference in maintaining long-term sobriety. Pavillon’s alumni network offers:
- A Lifelong Support System – Stay connected with a network of peers who understand the recovery journey and offer encouragement, accountability, and shared experiences.
- The Alumni House – A place to return to, free of charge, where alumni can reflect, reconnect, and find refuge whenever needed, as long as they maintain sobriety.
- Alumni Support Groups and Virtual Meetings — Access to Alumni Support Groups and virtual recovery meetings provides support no matter where life takes you.
- Workshops and Retreats – Free Recovery Community Workshops, Spiritual Renewal Retreats, and group discussions to strengthen your foundation in recovery.
- One-on-One Support – Our team is available seven days a week to offer guidance, encouragement, and hope.
At Pavillon, we are deeply committed to guiding individuals through recovery, but the impact doesn’t end when treatment does. Our alumni remind us why we do this work—through their gratitude, resilience, and the joy they find in their new lives. Their stories inspire us, reinforcing the mutual bond between our team and those we serve. The care we provide to our patients comes full circle as they, in turn, support and uplift us as alumni.
Wherever life takes you, we’re here.

Giving back is a powerful way to reinforce your recovery while helping others. At Pavillon, alumni service is about paying forward the support and wisdom that helped you and continuing to build a community of strength and healing. There are many ways alumni can stay involved and make a meaningful impact:
Volunteer Opportunities – Help at alumni events, mentor those new to recovery, or assist with workshops and retreats.
- Legacy Giving – Support Pavillon’s mission through planned giving, estate donations, or tribute gifts.
- Serenity Bricks – Dedicate a brick in our Alumni Garden to commemorate your journey, honor a sponsor, or remember a loved one.
- Scholarship Fund Contributions – Help individuals and families access treatment when financial barriers arise.
Consider giving through a Donor Advised Fund, a flexible, tax-efficient way to invest in Pavillon’s mission and future impact.
