Ways to give back to the Red Rock community and beyond, for connection and purpose.
The Summit Alumni App and newsletter
The Summit Alumni App is a private space just for Red Rock alumni: upcoming events, recovery resources and a way to stay in touch with your peers and our staff. A monthly newsletter keeps you in the loop, too.
- Events and meeting updates
- Resources for every stage of recovery
- Fellow alumni and staff, a message away
Give back through the Ambassador Program
Many alumni stay involved long after treatment ends. As ambassadors, they guide and support newer members of the Red Rock community, and become role models for the people walking the path they walked.
- Mentor newer clients in treatment
- Share your experience through sponsorship and service
- Take part in Red Rock events and functions
- Become a role model in the recovery community
A lifelong support system
Every client, past and present, is always welcome in our safe and supportive community. Through the alumni program, former clients stay part of the fellowship and staff support system where their sobriety began, and give back to current clients through sponsorship, service and Red Rock functions.
Keep building the skills you started in treatment, at your own pace.

Alumni in their own words
Red Rock alumni share what treatment and life in recovery have been like for them.
What clients and families say
I spent 33 days at base camp And was able to detox And learn about my disease and the skills I need to keep moving forward. I am currently In my 2nd month at IOP in Lakewood I love the meetings and the community It has been so helpful and I would recommend it to anybody
I've struggled a few times through the last couple years. Red Rock has been consistent and caring with my recovery. I 100% recommend anyone struggling for the care and focus they provide. Plus the after-program care is top notch
If your loved one is facing addiction, this is the place to be. The entire staff is professional and caring. My son is now in a Red Rocks sober living facility and has been drug and alcohol free for almost three weeks. He is excited about being apart of this program and is embracing his sobriety.
Bre my case worker was amazing in finding me help after treatment . The whole staff was caring and understanding during a hard time . So thankful for all them ! !
This was my first time getting help for my addictions. I learned a lot from group sessions and really appreciated the schedule and staff. I’ve taken a lot of things I’ve learned from base camp with me after. I would 100% recommend Red Rocks to anyone struggling with addiction.
I decided that I couldn’t handle my addiction on my own and contacted Red Rock Recovery Center. They changed my life. From day one, I realized I was in a place where I was genuinely being cared for, by both the staff and the other people in my group. They offer peer support groups and endless sober meetups after you graduate. You’re never left alone. You’re provided with every resource imaginable and are supported for the rest of your life. I’m beyond thankful for RRRC, for their care and for their never ending support. You’re not alone out there. Promise. There is a community out there committed to your wellbeing.
Red Rock has a solid foundation w people who actually care about others at the core of it. I’m extremely grateful to the staff and community of this place and I will always talk highly about the program and most of the therapists. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely life changing. My kids will never have to live with a drunk mommy and I feel so in control of my own life decisions now that I’m sober. I’m so grateful that I get to live a sober life for and with my children
