Alumni Program in Los Angeles
Treatment has a start date and an end date. Community doesn't have to. Our Alumni Program keeps you connected, through follow-up, community events, and people who've walked the same path.
In-network with most major insurers
Our admissions team verifies your specific benefits and explains exactly what's covered for treatment, before you commit to anything.
We do not accept Medi-Cal or Medicare.

Ongoing community
A network of people who've been through treatment here and understand what it took to get sober.
Real follow-up
Staff who check in after discharge, not just during your stay.
The same community, after treatment
The same supportive community you had in treatment, carried into life after it.
Weekly BreatheOUT groups
Weekly virtual support groups, also available by podcast, with people who understand recovery from the inside.
“I spent 90 days at Breathe just about a year ago and it changed my life. The staff there guided me through dealing with some underlying emotional issues I had been overlooking for years. The care I received from the entire staff on campus and at the clinic was amazing. Their alumni program is incredible, they are big on following up and supporting former patients even after they leave the facility.”
Beyond what our alumni say, the program itself runs on real structure: weekly BreatheOUT support groups, a private alumni community, and an Alumni Coordinator who keeps in touch after you leave.
