Connect with our Alumni Group

It is Aviary’s greatest hope that through our Alumni Program we are able to foster connections in ways that strengthen recovery and make hearts and lives more full. Upon completion of our program, alumni have a strong foundation for sobriety, but care does not end at graduation. Our aim is to provide you with a smooth transition between your inpatient experience and everyday life, with continued involvement and support that keeps you connected to Willingway and recovery. Once you come through treatment with us, we consider you a part of our family.

Networking: Our alumni community extends across Missouri. When you leave treatment, the alumni coordinator can help connect you with other alumni in your area for support, meetings, and guidance.
