Your recovery starts with a thorough assessment to determine your needs and level of care. They use proven methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address thoughts and behaviors that may not be conducive to a sober lifestyle.

The members can give valuable feedback regarding sobriety and become a supportive network that encourages your progress throughout the program.

Family involvement may be encouraged to help loved ones understand the role addiction plays in relationships. Clients can learn to set healthy boundaries, have proper communication skills and be a support network for ongoing sobriety.
