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
The Alumni Program at Twin Lakes Recovery Center is designed to provide ongoing support, connection, and encouragement to individuals after they complete treatment. Recovery does not end upon discharge, and the alumni community ensures that clients continue to have a strong network of peers and professionals who understand the challenges of maintaining sobriety. By fostering long-term engagement, the program helps alumni stay connected to the recovery community and reinforces the values and practices that contribute to lasting wellness.
A core aspect of the Alumni Program is its emphasis on fellowship and accountability. Alumni are invited to participate in regular meetings, events, and activities that promote sober living while building meaningful relationships. These gatherings allow individuals to share their experiences, celebrate milestones, and offer mutual encouragement. The program also provides opportunities for alumni to mentor new graduates, creating a cycle of support that benefits both seasoned members and those just beginning life in recovery.
Beyond peer connection, Twin Lakes Recovery Center’s Alumni Program often extends into broader community involvement. Alumni are encouraged to engage in service projects, educational workshops, and wellness activities that support their continued growth. These initiatives help individuals strengthen life skills, discover healthy outlets, and maintain a sense of purpose in recovery. By integrating community service and ongoing learning, the program not only supports sobriety but also empowers alumni to build fulfilling, balanced lives.
