Groups
Early Recovery/Discovery Group
An open, non- judgmental space for those new to recovery, or questioning substance use, and want education on addiction. Research provides evidence that group therapy is highly effective for addiction recovery. Some main benefits of participating in group therapy discussions: Gain greater self-awareness by listening to others; improve communication skills; connect with peers through shared experiences; receive honest feedback; and get outside perspectives; reduce isolation, shame, loneliness, and stigmatization. Overall, group therapy boosts a person’s ability to maintain long-lasting sobriety; and provides a safe haven of support, understanding, and mutual respect
