Lifelong abstinence from all mood altering chemicals is the number one goal. While relapse is sometimes part of the recovery process it is not necessarily an inevitable part. Our program is a series of lectures, workshops, and group counseling designed to provide each participant with a road map for recovery and long term abstinence through education and prevention planning. Realistically facing and planning for the possibility of relapse is the only way to prevent it. Individuals will be provided the opportunity to focus on multiple areas as they relate to a successful recovery.
