Addiction & Recovery Support
🔹 Our Core Values: Integrity at Every Level
Personal Integrity
We help individuals rediscover and rebuild their identity through honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness. Recovery isn’t just about abstaining—it’s about growing into the person you were always meant to be. Our counseling approach promotes healing through the practical application of recovery principles, supporting long-term growth and remission.
Group Integrity
Addiction thrives in isolation. Through group therapy, clients gain insight into how addiction affects themselves and their loved ones—breaking through denial and self-deception by witnessing the shared experiences and truth-telling of others on the same path. Healing happens in community.
Staff Integrity
Our team upholds the highest professional and ethical standards. Many of us carry both clinical expertise and lived experience, which deepens our compassion and sharpens our insight. We lead with empathy—because we’ve seen firsthand how powerful recovery can be.
