Our groups are focused on development and utilization of coping skills to support clients in recovery. Our curriculum draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivation Enhancement Therapy (MED), Harm Reduction and 1-step recovery approaches. The groups are helpful for reducing isolation and enabling members to witness the recovery of others—and these qualities draw clients into a culture of recovery.
