Partners and Families of Combat Veterans

Living with the aftermath of combat requires certain skills and training, just as skills and training were required for the veteran to go to war in the first place. Spouses, partners, parents, and siblings need training in flexibility and creative problem solving. This group provides the opportunity to share the burden of difficult issues, develop extraordinary relationship skills, solve problems with creativity and good humor, and build flexibility and resilience.

People in Early Recovery

Early Recovery has its own character. Repatterned thoughts and behaviors are still new, bad consequences of past behaviors are still coming in the mail, and adjustment with loved ones is still rocky. After formal treatment has ended, then what? Group therapy gives newly recovering alcoholics/addicts a chance to work on their relationship skills, see themselves in someone else, and use their experience to benefit others. Group therapy gives people a chance to continue to look at themselves and work on problems that either led to addiction or result from addiction. And group therapy is affordable on a slim budget.
