Meet Athena, our new Alumni Coordinator at Twin Lakes Recovery Center, who is a proud alumnus of the program herself. Athena is thrilled to join the team and looks forward to supporting alumni on their recovery journey.
She lives in Smyrna with her beautiful blue-eyed dog, Emory, and also shares her heart with Dozer, a part-time bulldog who lives with his dad, Tim—Athena’s ride-or-die partner. She’s the proud mom of Jaden, her 22-year-old son, who she describes as the most spectacular human being.
Working in her program has been life-changing for her, giving her a strong and supportive tribe. For Athena, fellowship and connection are vital to staying sober one day at a time. She’s eager to help grow the Twin Lakes Alumni Tribe and continue fostering a sense of community and support among alumni!

Overview of Alumni Services
All alumni are given access to the CaredFor alumni app. They are contacted regularly for a status check. They also are told I will answer the telephone 24/7, except when I am in a meeting. They are encouraged to come back to the facility for in-person meetings on Friday nights. They are also invited to all alumni activities like meetings, social gatherings, events like trips to the Georgia Aquarium, and others.
I am in the process of establishing an Alumni Ambassador Outreach program now that I have a cadre of alumni who have 12 months of sobriety. I am going to use a version of the Peer Coordinator curriculum to give these folks the tools to help their fellow clients and best represent Twin Lakes Recovery Center.
CaredFor App

Inside CaredFor, alumni use a personalized dashboard that tracks sobriety time, provides articles and resource material, and provides support from recovery experts, including those at Twin Lakes Recovery Center.
