Other focus areas
Evidence-based approaches
Group therapy
Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation. Direct teaching about how addiction, urge biology, and recovery actually work. Reduces shame by replacing self-blame with understanding the system you are working with.
Family systems
Family Systems work. Brings the people closest to you into the recovery picture, since urges and relationships rarely live in separate boxes.
Peer support
Peer Recovery Support. A credentialed person in long-term recovery walks alongside you, sharing what worked for them and connecting you to the right resources at the right moment.
