Once you leave eating disorder treatment, it's sort of like done and done outpatient. So, on one hand I get it, you know I'd be sick of treatment too, you know.
Imagine the relief of finding a group that truly understands your struggles with eating disorders. In this episode of 'The Recovery Journey', host Maria Danielle sits down with Allison Burnett to dive into the importance of Alumni support groups. They explore how these groups fill the gaps left by traditional treatment, offering a safe space for individuals to share their experiences and support each other on the path to recovery.
Allison highlights that while programs like AA and NA provide strong community support for substance use recovery, those battling eating disorders often feel isolated once they leave treatment. The Alumni support group steps in to bridge this gap, offering emotional backing and practical help. From workshops to process groups, these gatherings are designed to keep individuals connected with their outpatient teams and foster continuous growth.
The conversation reveals how Alumni members use their own recovery journeys to uplift others, creating a ripple effect of healing and encouragement. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode sheds light on the transformative power of community. Tune in to hear how you can find or start an Alumni support group near you and make meaningful connections that bolster long-term recovery.
