New Social Network Helps The Right Step Alumni Succeed in Life After Rehab

Houston, TX (PRWEB) August 4, 2010

The Right Step, a provider of affordable alcohol and drug rehab services with twenty locations throughout Texas and New Mexico, recently launched a new, free online social networking website to support its TRS alumni. The website is an exclusive part of the OneRecovery social networking site for recovering addicts and alcoholics. It gives clients who have completed an addiction treatment program online support to help them succeed in life after rehab. AETNA, the insurance provider, chose The Right Step as one of a select group of treatment centers they would assist with the launching of the website as an extension of after-care support.

The new website has been described by some as “Facebook for people in recovery.” It allows users to share their emotions, attend online AA meetings, access a range of useful resources, and get support from their peers.

The Right Step’s Corporate Alumni Coordinator Jana Magee believes post-rehab services are an “imperative part of someone’s recovery.”

“One of the biggest questions facing those who successfully complete an alcohol or drug treatment program is how to continue growing and improving life,” explained Magee. “This new online community, which also provides access to the larger OneRecovery network of individuals in recovery as well as our other alumni programs helps recovering addicts learn new coping skills and techniques to maintain their sobriety and grow as individuals.”

The online social network site is just the latest addition to The Right Step’s industry-leading alumni support efforts. The alcohol and drug rehab center continues to support patients long after they’ve completed their inpatient treatment or outpatient program.

The Right Step’s alumni group gives members a chance to give back to the community by offering them speaking engagements, mentoring opportunities for others in recovery, plus additional programs at no cost. Additionally, The Right Step is committed to letting members “have fun in treatment and recovery.” That’s why they also offer entertaining outings, such as bowling tournaments, picnics, dances, and much more to those in their alumni network.

Clearly, this commitment to all of their patients has played a significant role in The Right Step’s ascension to one of the area’s most successful alcohol and drug treatment centers. The Right Step offers inpatient and outpatient treatment across Texas and New Mexico, including in Albuquerque, Austin, Baytown, Beaumont, Dallas, Central DFW(Euless), Plano, Houston, San Antonio, SW Houston/Ft. Bend, and Pasadena.
