Daytop Addiction Treatment Alumni & Friends

(Two Daytop alumni members talking to each other)
“You can’t keep it,
unless you give it away”

If this “unwritten” resonates with you, then we invite you to join us to reconnect with old acquaintances and meet new friends on “your common ground.”

What it is

At Daytop we believe that Alumni Services play an important role in the recovery process. The Alumni Association’s primary function is to serve as a link to recovery to help new graduates connect with established graduates and with self-help groups in their community when they return home.


Stepping outside the safe and secure boundaries of treatment is often an overwhelming experience as newly discharged clients struggle with finding the right meeting, sponsor, and other aftercare resources, and at the same time continuing to address their individual recovery issues. Easing this process of re-entry and supporting people on their ongoing recovery is what the Daytop Alumni Association is about.


Alumni meetings are held the first Sunday of each month, 10:00 am, at 54 West 40th Street.


If you would be interested in starting a chapter near you, please call Ramon DeJesus at 212-354-6000, ext. 319.

Join in Events
