Addiction Focused Psychotherapy (Process) Group

These groups meets weekly via zoom and/ or in person for two hours. The group supports individuals in maintaining long term sobriety. In recovery circles this group is referred to as "Process Group" for short. It is Psychotherapeutic in nature and allows participants to witness their beliefs and behaviours objectively while in relationship with others. This unique process provides participants the opportunity to create lasting change and personal growth. This group provides a safe environment where individuals can experience fulfilling relationships sometimes for the first time. Experiencing fulfilling relationships are a vital part of recovery and are often elusive to the "addict".
