American Addiction Centers has launched AAC Together, an alumni engagement app built on the CaredFor Patient Engagement platform, to extend recovery support beyond discharge and into the daily lives of people completing treatment. The app enables alumni across AAC’s nationwide network of treatment centers to stay connected regardless of location. Since launching in December, AAC Together has already shown strong engagement from alumni across the network.
According to Tikisha Ousley, Vice President of Alumni Relations at American Addiction Centers, becoming part of the AAC community provides a sense of belonging and continued connection that can be a powerful protective factor against relapse. Hundreds of alumni have already been welcomed into the app, with the community continuing to grow daily.
Key Features and Impact
An added benefit of AAC Together is its built-in referral capability, which makes it easier for alumni to connect friends or loved ones with treatment resources when support is needed most. About one-third of referred individuals have already gone on to enter treatment. The platform was created to support alumni during a critical phase of recovery through consistent connection, peer support, and meaningful engagement beyond the treatment facility. Ousley noted that the company is seeing alumni not only stay engaged in their recovery, but also step forward to help others find treatment, demonstrating how peer-driven support can change and even save lives.
CaredFor, part of ContinuumCloud LLC, is a patient outcomes and alumni engagement platform purpose-built for behavioral health organizations. The platform supports the full continuum of care from pre-admission through alumni engagement, helping providers strengthen outcomes, reduce disengagement, and create lifelong recovery communities.
