Understanding Addiction is a support group typically offered in person at our offices, and provides weekly support to those new to accessing services or who are on a waitlist for addiction treatment.

Rotating modules include Triggers & Coping Strategies, Self-Care, Coping with Negative Thoughts, Mindfulness and more.

Our group facilitators have made the rotating sessions available on line via video, with worksheets and resources to support each session.

These sessions can be accessed at any time and as often as you wish.
