This facility offers a multitude of services to help you engage with others and develop a support network while you are on your journey of recovery. The social support activities they offer here include pizza parties, cornhole, darts, bucket golf, movie and game nights. This helps strengthen your social and communication skills by interacting with others and being in a safe, secure, and sober setting. Participating in these enjoyable social activities shows you that you can still have fun and enjoy your life but it will just be in a more healthier way.

While you are receiving services, they provide Narcan training and distribution. This can be helpful not only for yourself but for your loved ones as well. They will give you a thorough training on how to use this medication and explain how the process works and why it’s so effective. Having Narcan can help prevent an overdose temporarily until you or a loved one are able to seek immediate medical assistance.

There is also a clothing closet available and supportive housing. Depending on where you are on this journey, sometimes the beginning could be a lot more different then imagined. However, it is best to remember this way of life is a one day at a time journey and by doing the inner work everything will fall into place. By regaining employment, re-connecting relationships, and gaining responsibilities that could have been impacted, you can build a resilient and a strong foundation for your long term recovery.
