2 NEW GROUPS BEGINNING February 2012 in Santa Monica:

     ~Addiction Recovery Support Group: Thursdays, 12-1:30pm for 8 weeks

          This group is for individuals in early recovery, just out of treatment, and/or in sober living.  This group will provide a therapeutic environment for individuals to continue gaining support in their recovery.  Specifically, it will involve learning the life skills necessary in early recovery, continuing to address issues underlying addiction, and building the coping skills necessary for sobriety and thriving. 

     ~Al-Anon Therapy Support Group: Thursdays, 7-8:30pm for 8 weeks

          This group is for family and friends of loved ones (i.e. addicts and alcoholics) who are currently in treatment, in recovery, or still struggling with their disease to gain support within a therapeutic group environment. Our idea in forming this group was to create an extension of an individuals Al-Anon program experience and create an avenue in which to process their experience, gain support from others going through similar issues and struggles, and to receive education/feedback from therapist and addiction specialists.  In addition, we aim to help them explore their role in the relationship with their loved one and learn how to engage in healthier ways.
