Recovery focus
Other focus areas
Evidence-based approaches
12-step facilitation
Twelve-Step Facilitation. Helps you engage with mutual-aid fellowships (GA, AA, SMART) as a recovery community rather than a solo grind.
Equine assisted learning
Equine-Assisted Therapy. Structured work with horses, often alongside a clinician. Useful for trauma + emotional regulation when interaction with another live being lowers defenses that talk-therapy alone cannot.
Holistic
Holistic Care. Adds nutrition, sleep, movement, and mind-body practices alongside the clinical work. Recovery is whole-person; the body matters too.
