Continuing care for life after treatment
The community that comes next.
Alumnus keeps graduates of addiction treatment connected to the people who care about them: family, sponsor, and care team. A hard week gets noticed early, and met with a conversation.
For treatment centers and alumni programs. Members join with an invitation from their program.
Why Alumnus
Discharge is a graduation, not a goodbye.
Recovery is a long road, and the first months home are the most fragile. Between 40 and 60 percent of people treated for a substance use disorder relapse, a rate similar to other chronic conditions like hypertension and asthma. Yet most programs lose sight of their graduates the day they leave.

Graduates go home to the same routines.
Often with no one checking in once the first week has passed.
Families want to help, but can't see clearly.
A rough day and a real warning sign look the same from the outside, and nobody tells them what to do next.
Care teams hear about it after the fact.
By the time a hard stretch reaches the clinic, re-engaging is at its hardest.
How it works
Noticed early, by the right people, in the right order.
Alumnus watches for the quiet signals that come before a hard week, compares them with each member's own normal, and never goes around the member.
-
01 · At discharge
A membership, signed on the ride home.
Graduates join with an invitation code from their program. Before a single permission is requested, they read a plain-language compact: what Alumnus observes, who sees what, and how to pause or leave. Then they choose up to three people to look out for them.
-
02 · Every day
Calm by design.
A morning check-in that reads like a journal, not an assessment. Meetings checked in automatically, only at the addresses the member adds. Sleep compared with their own rhythm, never a population average. No streaks, no points, no badges.
-
03 · When a pattern emerges
The member is never the last to know.
Late nights, missed meetings, a check-in tone that drifts. Alumnus raises it with the member as a soft "worth a look" note, in wellbeing language and never as a risk score, and tells them plainly who else can see it.
-
04 · If it holds
Their people get a clear next step.
When a pattern persists, the member's network receives a calm message: what was noticed, and a next step written by their clinician rather than the app. The care team sees the same signal in the provider console, so outreach can happen while it's still a conversation.
The product
One membership. Three vantage points.
Everyone in a graduate's corner gets an interface built for their role: calm for the member, reassuring for family, and clinically detailed for the care team.
Member app
A quiet companion, not a monitor.
Built for the alumnus first. Alumnus stays out of the way on a good week and speaks plainly on a hard one.
- Morning check-ins that feel like a journal
- Automatic meeting check-ins at the places the member chooses
- Personal trends written as observations, never a risk number
- A private alumni community, signed by first name and class year
- Sponsor, care team, and crisis line always one tap away
Accountability partner portal
Reassurance for the people who love them.
Family members and sponsors aren't clinicians. The partner portal tells them how the week is going in plain English, and exactly what to do when it matters.
- A plain-language weekly view of meetings, check-ins, and touchpoints
- Patterns, never contents: no messages, browsing, or location history
- Calm alerts with a next step written by the member's clinician
- Encouragement in a tap, with words that help
- Guidance on what to say, what not to say, and when to escalate
Provider console
Continuing care your team can actually run.
For clinicians, case managers, and alumni coordinators: your whole post-discharge caseload in one place, with alerts triaged and every outreach documented.
- Every graduate in one caseload, sortable by status and days since discharge
- An alerts queue to acknowledge, contact, escalate, and document
- Member detail with signal breakdowns, network contacts, and notes
- Outreach to members and their partners from one console
Privacy
A membership, not a monitor.
The product earns its keep by being measured, plain, and yours to leave.
We observe rhythm, not contents.
Sleep timing, meeting attendance, and check-ins. Never messages, screens, or browsing.
The network sees patterns.
Up to three people the member chooses. They see whether the week is steady, never the details.
Pause or leave at any time.
One tap pauses observation. One tap removes someone from the network. No exit interview.
Sensitive checks stay on the phone.
The optional content check runs entirely on the device. Nothing is uploaded, and no person reads the screen.
Every signal has its own switch.
For treatment centers
The post-discharge record your program has been missing.
Every check-in, alert, and outreach call becomes part of a longitudinal record, so you can show payers, accreditors, and your board what happens after discharge, not just during treatment.
Population analytics in the provider console. Sample data.
Re-engagement over time
See how many graduates are still connected at 30, 60, and 90 days, by program and cohort.
Time from signal to contact
Measure how quickly your team reaches a member once a pattern appears.
How alerts resolve
Track which alerts the network handled, which needed clinical outreach, and which were escalated.

Questions
What people ask first.
Who is Alumnus for?
Alumnus is offered through treatment centers and alumni programs to the people who graduate from them. Members use the mobile app, the family and sponsors they invite use the partner portal, and clinical and alumni staff use the provider console.
How does a graduate join?
With an invitation code from their treatment program, usually given at discharge. If you're a graduate or a family member, ask your program's alumni or discharge team whether they offer Alumnus.
Does Alumnus read messages or track where members go?
No. Alumnus looks at rhythm, not contents: sleep timing, attendance at the meeting addresses a member adds, and their own check-ins. It never reads messages, screens, or browsing, and it doesn't log a member's day. The optional content check runs entirely on the phone.
What can accountability partners see?
Whether the week is steady, in plain English: meetings attended, check-ins completed, and when something is worth a conversation. Partners see patterns, never details, and only people the member invites can see anything.
Can a member pause or leave?
Yes, at any time. One tap pauses observation, one tap removes a person from the network, and every signal can be switched off on its own. The app is honest about what each change means, and nothing is punitive.
Do members see a risk score?
No. Members and their partners see written observations, like "steady this week." Scores and clinical detail appear only in the provider console, for the care team.
Is Alumnus a crisis service?
No. Alumnus helps people notice and reach out early, but it doesn't monitor in real time or replace emergency care. Anyone in crisis should call or text 988, or call 911.
