Teens who have been through any Clearfork Academy treatment program, and their parents, can now join an expanded alumni program offering weekly peer meetings, family support sessions and around-the-clock access to the alumni team.
-- Clearfork Academy, a faith-based addiction and mental health treatment provider for teens in Texas, has expanded its alumni aftercare programs, effective October 2, 2026. The program is open to former patients of the organization’s detox, residential, partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, along with their parents. According to the team, it is designed to keep families connected to professional and peer support after treatment ends.
The expansion focuses on one of the most difficult stages of recovery: the period after a teen leaves a structured program, says Clearfork Academy. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, an estimated 40 to 60 percent of people treated for substance use disorders relapse at some point, a rate comparable to other chronic illnesses such as hypertension and asthma. Aftercare programs aim to lower that risk by giving people continued access to support, guidance and accountability as they return to school, home and daily routines.
“The journey of recovery is an ongoing process, so from the moment of admission, a participant becomes a member of the Clearfork family,” said Austin Davis, CEO of Clearfork Academy. “Our goal is to save lives and forge new legacies for teens, and our Alumni Program is a thriving and essential part of our services during each family's recovery journey.”
Clearfork Academy says families receive information about the alumni community throughout treatment, so the move into the program begins before discharge. Alumni and their families have 24/7 access to the alumni relations team by phone and email, both for help during difficult moments and for recognition of recovery milestones.
The program follows a weekly schedule. Teen alumni meet on Zoom every Sunday evening. Parents of both alumni and current patients meet separately on Zoom every Tuesday evening for support, education and talks from guest speakers. On Saturday afternoons, alumni who meet the program’s requirements are welcome back on campus for support sessions, where they share their experiences with teens currently in treatment. According to Clearfork Academy, helping someone else who is at an earlier point in recovery can build a sense of leadership and keep alumni accountable in their own recovery.
Dedicated alumni associates serve as the program’s first point of contact. They connect former patients with one another and support the alumni network through regular communication, events and shared resources.
