“One of the most powerful things I experienced during and after my stay at Plumer Street are the weekly alumni dinner and 12 step meetings. To share a homecooked meal with people you consider part of your extended family,  be welcomed and accepted with open arms by residents, staff, and alumni alike is an indescribable feeling. Sharing my experience, strength and hope with other residents new in sobriety, and having that “base” to call a second home, is a huge part of my sobriety today.”
